SPECIAL 

Now the Amiga has come of 
age in the animation and spe- 
cial effects industry, we throw 
the spotlight on the very best 
up-and-coming and established 
Amiga animators We also put 
Deluxe Paint IV and Brilliance into a 
head-to -head battle to see just who 
is the king of Amiga paint pro- 
grams. All of that, plus inside 
info from the man who brought 
us Defender of the Crown, Jim 
Sachs, who knows more about 
the Amiga than even 
Commodore.

OFF THE GUFF 

EDITORIAL 

Are Commodore 
about to break 
up Ihe company 
and Sell off their 
Amiga technol- 
ogy Id Ihe 
highest bidder? 
Rumours 
abound al Ihe 
moment con- 
cerning Ihe 
Financial health 
ol Ihe Big C and 
whether the 
company is still a viable concern. Yet 
ansrther set of disappointing financial Inj- 
ures have jusl been released by 
Commodore, and these have done nettling 
1o quell the scaremongers amongst us. In 
an exclusive news story, CU Amiga grjEs 
behind the scenes to assess Commodore's 
chances of surviving through the coming 
year to launch Itieir high-end workstations 
lhal will, undoubtedly, blow away (he 
competition. We talk to David Pleasanee, 
Commodore UK's (pint MD. leading soft- 
ware houses and other torn mentalorslo 
lind out their views and opinions. Full 
story on page 10/11. 
We've also got a truly gigantic graphics 
and animation feature which covers 
everything from how Hie Amiga is being 
used in hit movies la how to gain 3 
diploma in Amiga animation. There's 
also a battle of the paint programs, as 
Digital Creation's Brilliance takes on 
EA's Paint in a head-to-head encounter, 
and we've also got an exclusive interview 
with Jim Sachs, one ol ttie premier 
Amiga artists olali time. 
There's lots more besides, bui I'll let you 
discover it all at your leisure. With the 
bottom ol Ltie page rap idly approaching, I 
want to take time out to say a big thank 
you to all our loyal readers who have 
supported us throughout 1993. Our circu- 
lation has sky-rocketed during this time, 
and it's very encouraging to get all your 
I etters of support a nd e ncou ragem e nt . 
So, without snivelling uncontrollably into 
by hanky, I'd like to say a big THANKS, 
and wish you all a very "apPV and enjoy- 
able new year See you in 1994!

Is Commodore and 

the Amiga living 

on borrowed time 

or is this the 

dawning of a new 

age? Jason 

Holborn clarifies 

the future of the 

Amiga... 



i 



t you've been monitoring the tor- 
tones of bolh Commodore and 
Ihe Amiga over ihe past year or 
so, you couldn't help but notice the 
rather bleak picture that is being 
painted by both the press and soft- 
ware houses over recenl months. 
Commodore, of course, insist that 
the Amiga is stilt nding high in the 
popularity stakes and will continue to 
do so for some time to come, espe- 
cially with ihe recent release of the 
CD32, but is this just plain marketing 
hype or a concerted effort to restore 
confidence in an ailing market? 

Recent news stories in both the 
Amiga and trade press have done 
nothing to distill the worries that 
many Amiga users are now feeling. 
With Commodore feeling the pinch of 
heavy financial losses and the loss in 
confidence caused by bungled 
changes in the Amiga range {the 
A5DD Plus and A600J, not to menlion 
the news of widespread redundan- 
cies within Commodore's US-based 
research and development wing, it's 
not surprising that many would-be 
Amiga owners have been tempted to 
move over to lesser systems. Is the 
Amiga destined tor the great com- 
puter scrap heap in the sky or is this 
just a minor hiccough in Commo- 
dore's greater scheme of things? 

THAT DEJA-VU 
FEELING... 

Al the top of most people's list of 
worries has to be the fortunes of 
Commodore itself, a company that is 




L___

J 



certainly no stranger to financial 
woes. When ihe Amiga was firsl 
launched way back in 1985, 
Commodore were in the grips of a 
financial! crisis that many believed 
would be its undoing. As history 
shows, however, Commodore 
weathered that crisis and many 
industry speculators believe that 
Commodore can do it again with this 
latest one. 

Much has been said about 
Commodore's latest set ot financial 
figures which continued to show 
substantial losses. According to the 
report, Commodore made a loss of 
$82.6 million for the East quarter 
ending June 30th 1993 (compared 
to a profit of $2?.B million for the 
same period of 1992). For the first 
quarter of the 1&&4 financial year 
ending September 30th 1993. 
turnover was down on the previous 
year from Si 58.6 million to $82. S 
million with Commodore making a 
loss of $9.7 million. 

In a recent news story published 
within the computer trade's journal, 
Comput9f Trade Weekly, these fig- 
ures were greeted with considerable 
pessimism wilh CTW quoting a 
statement included with the results 
that painted an even bleaker picture , 
According to CTW, Commodore 
themselves believe that: 'The com- 
pany's financial position and 
operating results raise substantial 
doubts about the company's ability 
to continue as a going concern'. 
Scarey stuff, maybe, but David 
Pleasance, MD ol Commodore UK, 
was quick to answer 
CTW's claims and to 
reassure Amiga owners 
just how healthy 
Commodore now are. 

'We're not at all ' 
chuffed with the CTW 
article, it leaves out a 
very important part of the 
report. The June quarter 
figures were in line with 
what we had forecast. 
We made provisions in 
our accounts for sub- 
stantial writedowns ot 
Our A600 inventory and 
indeed Commodore 
internationally. What we 
anticipate is that we shall 
have a very strong effect 
in September and we 
can reduce our losses 
quite substantially,' 

"We hope lo be in a 
"break even" position or 
even profitable by 
December. Sure, the fig- 
ures show thaf we made 
a loss, but they fail to 
highlight that it was a very 



small loss and we have succeeded 
in reducing our liabilities consider- 
ably. The notes that CTW published 
were a result of the June quarter fig- 
ures - those notes were pul on by 
auditors but the September figures 
showed a marked improvement.' 

J I1 we don't break even this quar- 
ter world wide, we're going to be 
damned close - in fact, I'd be very 
Surprised if we don't make a profit in 
the next quarter. We're not a billion 
dollar corporation anymore, but 
we're going to make a profit. If our 
supporters had any doubts, don't 
you think that they would have 
pulled the plug a long time ago? At 
the end of the day. we're indebted to 
the brand loyalty of our users-. They 
have saved us'. 

Commodore's National Marketing 
Manager Dawn Levack backed up 
David's comments: 'As far as we're 
concerned, everything is "ticketee 
boo" here at Commodore. Our 
September results are much better 
and we'll be back on track by 
December. We're on target - we've 
got rid of cur liabilities and we're 
heading for good limes". 

From a marketing point of view, 
Dawn was equally enthusiastic "Our 
recent marketing compaign has 
been excellent We're getting all the 
right results. Just look at the recent 
Gallup polls - we're the number one 
platform on CD and the CD32 title 
Zoo! is the number one CD software 
title. If you look at Marketing maga- 
zine (another trade journal), the 
effectiveness of our TV advertise- 
ments are up there wilh the Andrex 
adverts!' 

Many would claim that 
Commodore are simply trying to 
gloss over the bad news, but Andy 
Leaning, a spokesman for major 
dealers Silica Systems, backed up 
Commodore's views. 'The CTW 
story was very misleading and the 
quote concerning Commodore's 
ability to continue as a going con- 
cern has been blown totally out of 
proportion. The footnote that CTW 
refers to is actually a standard audit- 
ing footnote that makes no 
judgements concerning 
Commodore's financial health. 

As far as we're concerned, 
Commodore's latest set of financial 
figures are very encouraging and 
they bode very well tor the future. 
When a company gets into a posi- 
tion where it is writing olf millions of 
pounds, it's very difficult to recover 
unless you take drastic action very 
quickly. In our 




NEWS CU AMIGA 




opinion. Commodore seem to have 
done just (hat, allhough ihey are 
negative, ihe drop in tosses is 

encouraging.' 

SALES AND CLONES 

Sales of the Amiga are certainly rid- 
ing high too as Dawn Levack 
confirmed: 'Sales of Ihe Amiga are 
flying - we just can't get enough of 
them! As for the CD32, sales are! 
increasing by 30% each week!'. 

DavkJ Pleasance confirmed this 
optimism: 'In the Al 2Q0, we have 
the industry's leading product bar 
none, In ihe last six months, we've 
sold over 160,000 in the UK alone!" 
In a recent press release, Pleasance 
described these sales as an "incredi- 
ble summed which is unheard of in 
this industry'. 

The CD32 has been doing a lot 
better than many industry pundits 
had claimed with Commodore well 
on its way to selling over 400,000 
units worldwide by the end Of 1 993. 
In the UK alone, Pleasance Firmly 
believes that Commodore will have 
achieved sales of around 1 1 0,000 
units by January 1994 although be 
admits that sales are not quite as 
high as Commodore had hoped. 'We 
admit that sales of the CD32 have 
been slower than anticipated, I think 
that this is a result of the markel 
being "far at the moment,,, we're 
still outselling the Sega MegaGQ by 
as much as lour to one though!. 
We're outselling the competition 
and we believe that the market is 
yet 1o take off." 

The incredible popularity of the 
A1200 is proving to be a problem 
that is holding back manufacture of 
the CD32. "We've been inhibited by 
our inability to manufacturer enough 
machines. Sales of the 



A 1200 have held back 
the CD32 because 
we've had to make so 
many more A1200$. 
We're certainly not 
complaining though!" 

Rumours have 
been rife within the 
industry thai 
Commodore have 
plans to license the 
Amiga's custom chips 
to a number of 
Japanese electronics 
giants for the produc- 
tion of Amiga "clones". 
Whilst some industry 
watchers believe that 
this could be a good 
thing (indeed, it was 
the existanoe of clones that saved 
IBM's ailing PC from the scrapyard! r , 
when questioned whether the licens- 
ing of Amiga technology was a 
possibility, Pleasance was quick to 
reply. 'There is a possibility the chip 
set we have abandoned (ECS) will 
be available for license. Now that we 
have totally abandoned anything 
less than 32-bit technology, those 
chips are now available. 

'The growing interest in taking 
cable or satellite television signals 
via a black bos is certainly a possi- 
bility - after ail, ihe Amiga chip set 
is perfect for handling video signals. 
As lor talk of Amiga clones, that's 
complete and utter nonsense - that 
would be the kiss ol death for 
Commodore.' 




Commodore's per- 
formance isn't the 
only area of con- 
cern, however. A 
recent trade only 
survey entitled Th& 
Video- Games 
Industry in 1994 
produced by a rival 
magazine publisher 
certainly did Ihe 
Amiga no favours. 
The survey, which 
was conducted 
amongst the top 
twenty people in the 
software industry 
including such big 
names as Mark 
Strachan at 



Do mark, Ian Stewart at Gremlin and 
US Gold's Geoff Brown, contained 

enough bad news to test the loyalty 
of even the most hardened Amiga 

fanatic. To quote this esteemed 
publication, The Amiga seems to 
be next on the industry's self- 
imposed hit list, In certain quarters 
there is almost a race lo abandon 
the formal. We do, in fact, seem to 
be in the middle of a definite and 
irreversible decline. As far as the 
games market is concerned, the 
Amiga's short-term future is bleak 
and there simply is no long-term 
future...' 

This survey was certainly not 
greeted with enthusiasm by either 
Commodore or by those that had 
taken pari. 

According to David Pleasance, 
every single person surveyed 
expressed dismay at the findings Of 
the Survey and they ail strongly 
believed that the final analysis was 
very misleading. 

Commodore have been quick to 
patch up any damage that the sur- 
vey may have caused by posting an 
advertisement in Computer Trade 
Weekly that lists the views of eigh- 
teen of the games industry's top 
players. These quotes certainly 
make interesting reading and 
although we don't have space to 
print them, every single one 
expresses a continuing commitment 
to the Amiga games market. This 
viewed was echoed by Martyn 
Brown, head-honcho at Team 1 7 




Software. 'We certainly plan lo con- 
tinue to support the Amiga with 
quite a few new releases pianneo 
for next year, especially on the Gf> 
32 and A12Q0, including Alien 
Breed 3D which makes use Of the 
CD-32's Planar chip. Our A1200 
stuff is selling very well indeed - in 
terms of percentage of machines. 
the Al 200 version of Alien Breed II 
has actually sold better than ihe 
A&QQ version! We're totally commit- 
ted to the Amiga- the Amiga is still 
our main development platform.' 

GOOD TIMES 

Both Commodore and the Amiga 
have suffered their greatest test 
over the past few months but it 
seems that finally there is light at 
the end ol the tunnel. With 
Commodore now fully expecting to 
be profitable by 1994 and Amiga 
software vendors still completely 
behind ihe machine, it seems that 
finally the Amiga's future is 
assured. With both the A120Q and 
the CD32 selling very well, not to 
mention the promise of even more 
powerful Amigas based around the 
'Triple-A' chip set and RISC tech- 
nology just around the corner, the 
Amiga will undoubtedly continue to 
be a market leader, 

Certain sections of the Amiga 
press have been very quick to write 
off Commodore, but perhaps its 
time for ihe entire industry to stop 
kicking Commodore and start 
applauding them instead. Fighting 
back from the grips of a crisis that 
would have spelled the end for 
many lesser companies is a formid- 
dable achievement that only goes 
to prove jusl how clued up 
Commodore's management really 
are. Sitting on the board of 
Commodore UK are some of the 
industry's most talented business- 
men and woman who clearly know 
what the Amiga is capable of and 
how to sell it. 

Combine this with the sort of 
brand loyally and state of the ad 
hardware that other computer man- 
ufacturers can only dream about 
and it's easy lo see why both 
Commodore and the Amiga have 
managed to weather this latest 
slorrn. 

All things told, Commodore is 
possibly leaner and meaner that it. 
has ever been! <2J*

COMMODORE WRITES 

With a glass of sherry in one hand and 
a mince pie in the other, David 
Pleasance reflects on what has been a 
memorable year for both the Amiga 
and Commodore. 

ere we are at the end of another year, and what a year it's been. It 
was only April '9-3 when I was in Athens for a dealer conference 
organised by our Greek distributor, when suddenly, out of the blue. 
I found myself right in the thick of it, appointed as joint Managing Director 
for Commodore's UK subsidiary, That was just the first of many challenges 
that were about to reveal themselves over the next lew weeks. 

In May the corporation: announced further large losses, adding to an 
already extremely dismal set ot figures for the first half year. 

The major difference this time,, though, was the provision of very large 
reserves to enable Commodore to re-focus and re-structure. Re-focusing 
consisted of firstly deciding once and for all to get out of the PC market 
completely, and secondly lo concentrate only on our Amiga technology, 
and, In particular, on nothing less than 32-bit systems. Re-structuring con- 
sisted of diverting the resources previously used to support PC products 
and reducing the overheads of the Worldwide operation to reflect the lower 
sales figures. This would naturally result from the withdrawal of the PC- 
based products previously included in our turnover, 

Knowing that the decision to adopt this strategy was taken in late May, 
we always realised that little or no effect would be evident in our June 
quarter results. So the plan was to concentrate on our September quarter 
with a view to reducing the losses and overheads, hopefully resulting in 
the company being profitable by Christmas. 

I am happy to tell you that we appear to be on course, with our 
September loss being much less than previous quarters, and more impor- 
tantly, we succeeded in reducing our overheads by 65%. 

We are very pleased at the super success we are enjoying with the 
Amiga CD32, in all my years at Commodore.. I have never experienced 
anything as exciting as the way everyone is reacting to this brilliant prod- 
uct. However, if ever there was a Christmas star, ours has to be the Amiga 
1200 Desktop Dynamite pack. I felt this was the best pack my marketing 
team had ever come up with, bus I did not expect such an overwhelming 
demand for it. A sincere thank you, to all of you who have kept supporting 
us and especially to those of you who have bought any of our 
products over the last few months. 

Now that we have secured our future I am very 
excited at what prospects 1 994 might hold for 
Commodore, 

You have read, I'm $ure, about the AAA 
chipset currently under development. 
These, combined with a RISC- 
based core, will form the 
heart of our new high 
end graphics 
workstations. 
These will be 
able to run MS 
DOS software 
under Windows 
WTas well as 
having the best 
graphics of any 
sub-350,000 
system! 

So, with this 
new model flag- 
ship product, and 
with the CD32 
gaining momen- 
tum rapidly, 1994 
looks set to be a 
really memorable 
year for 
Commodore. 
Here's to another 
exciting twelve 
months. (££

Potentially the most powerful add-on lor the 
1200 yet, GVP's cutting new A123D ll Board 
is due out any day now. first 01 all. ihe 
specs for the hoard itself: 50MHz 64030 pro- 
cessor wilh integral memory management 
unit, two SIMM sockets holding up lo 64Mb 
ol RAM m various 'SIMM conlrguralians. a 
battery- backed clock, and an optional 6588? 
maths co-processor. 

Now here's tire best part. The board will 
be able to accept further peripherals via a 
through-port connector, GVP already have a 
real time 16-bit video digitizer in develop- 
ment, provisionally named The Cobra. For 
music and video lans, Flipper is ihe name of 
the 16-bit direcMo-disk sampler that's also 
in the pipeline. Then there's the A1291 SCSI 
I Interface, which will allow the l?uQ to use 
just about any SCSI device, including CD- 
ROM drives, scanners, Syquest drives, tape 
streamers and more. Quoted access speeds 
ol Ihe A1291 are 3.2Hbs per second when 
connected lo a Maxtor 54DS drive. Further 
add-ons are promised in Ihe near lutune.

the DKB 1 200 RAM Board. The basic 
board comes with a 1 6MH2 6-8881 
maths co-processor and two unpopu- 
lated SIMM slots, at a price of £129. 
Silica claim this is the first 1200 RAM 
board to use two industry standard 
SIMMs, rather than the higher-priced 
SIMMs used by other boards. 

For the A3000 and 4000.. DKB 
have a 32-bit Zorro III RAM board. 
The four SIMM slots can accommo- 
date up to 1 2BMb of RAM, and can 
also use different capacity SIMMs 
simultaneously (such as 4Mb and a 
32Mb SIMM for example). The 
unpopulated board comes in at £269. 
Finally "here's the DKB Megachip 
1Mb Chip RAM upgrade tar the A500, 
1500 and 2000, which is available for 
£154. Contact Silica Systems on 081

Sim City is set to make a welcome return to the Amiga in April, thanks to 
Maxis Mirvdscape and the programming talents of John Jones Steele, the 
man responsible tor the Amiga versions Of Sim Life and Sim Earth, in the form 
of Sim City 2000- the game thai looks set to show God games once and for 
all 'how it's done'. Set years ahead of the original Sim City, it features more 
buildings, more people and more disasters than the original, so it should be

1 Anne and Len Tucker have come up with a 
I book designed to improve your own educa- 
| fonal AMOS crealions. Tha book, AMOS 
in Education, is not aimed at commercial 
I software developers, rather at Hie parent 
who wants to give their children some- 
thing more constructive to do with their 
Amiga than just playing games. A disk

DO IT YOURSELF 

How about having a go at creating a 
game from scratch? Your games can 
be set on still screens, fixed -rate or 
ptayer-gonfroiled vertically scrolling 
backdrops. For this example we'll use 
a fixed-rate backdrop, as demon- 
strated with the Slap and Tickle game 
on ihe disk. If you've previously 
loaded one of the games, it's best to 
re-load the whole SEUCK program to 
get a clear system. 

SPRITES 

Spntes are the graphics used for your 
spaceships, aliens, bullets, men and 

explosions- - everything in the game 
that isn't part of the backdrop. The 
Sprite Editor is a good place to start, 
so select Edit Sprites irom the main 
menu, followed by Edit Sprite. You'll 
now be in the Sprite Editor. 

The grid on the left is an 
expanded view of the current sprite. 
You can draw in the grid by holding 
down the left mouse button, and 
change trie pen colour by choosing 
a different shade from the the oar in 
the middle of the screen. To change 
the palette, select Edit Colours from 
the Edit Sprite menu. Make ihe first 
sprite a spaceship, or whatever you 
want your player's character to look 
like. Be careful of the Flood button, 
as it can wipe out a sprite in a single 
blow. This is reversible with (he 
Undo button. 

If you want your sprite animated- 
click the Destination button once so 
that it shows 1. Click the Copy but- 
ton to duplicate the current sprite 
(number 0) into sprite number 1. 
You can then move to sprite 1 with 
the Sprite No. button, and alter the 
duplicate slightly to make a second 
frame of animation. 

OBJECTS 

Before a sprite car> be used in the 
game, it has to be assigned to an 
object. The difference between 
sprites and objects is that sprites are 
ihe images used for the aliens and

the aliens and characters 

themselves. 

From the main menu, 
select Edit Object twice. You'll see a 
bank of identical sprites. The name 
of. the current object is displayed at 
the top of the screen, and will proba- 
bly be showing player 1 . At this 
stage sprite 1 will be set up for 
player 1 , so you shouldn't need to 
change anything here. If you were 
defining another object (enemy 1 for 
example), then you would need to 
select the appropriate sprite, then 
click on the top left spot on the 
sprite grid, if you've drawn a few 
frames of animation, you'll need to 
select each one. and place them on 
subsequent spaces in the sprile 
grid (going from left to right 
starting with the top row). By 
changing the Last Frame value, 
you can define the number of 
I names that are used in the ani- 
mation. Delay Value sets the 
speed of the animation. You can 
see how your animated sprite 
will look in the Animate window. 

Once you've got your head 
around that, you can repeat the 
sprite and object generation process 
for your aliens, bullets and explo- 
sions. The basic objects you'll need 
to define are player 1 , player 1 death 
(explosion), player 1 fire, enemy 1 , 
enemy 1 fire and enemy 1 death. 
You can use the same death/explo- 
sion sprites for the enemy and 
player, and also use the same bullets 
to save time. 



PLAYER LIMITATIONS 

Before you can see your player sprite 
in the game, you'll need to activate it 
and set up a few parameters.. 
Choose Edit Player Limitations fol- 
lowed by player 1 and Edit

Simultaneous two-player games are easily

LEVEL PARAMETERS 

Levels can be one irf three types: scrolling, 
push-scrolling or still. Push-scrolling levels

lap ol his allotted area,. The Blood 'it' Bullets 
game on the second disk uses this method, 
You can select the type of level Trom Ihe Edit 
Levels -> Edit Level Parameters option. 
From here yoo can also select the speed ol 
the scrolling {higher numbers mean slower 
scrolling), the duration of Ihe level (it you 
want it to end before il reaches the end ol 
the map), and whether new levels scroll on 
directly from Ihe previous one. or start Irom 
a clear screen. You can. of course, have 
more than one level. Switching the current 
level counter allows you to create new lev- 
els, and edit previous ones.

Now is an apprapnale time to 
Check that everything is working as it 
should. Go back to the main menu

What we need now is an enerny, You 
should have already set up an

tor, but you'll still need to define its 
various 'parameters such as speed, 
tire rate and so on. From Ihe Edit 
Object option, choose Edit Enemy 
Bits. Set the parameters to any num- 
bers you, fancy, making sure that 
none of them are left at zero (other- 
wise you could find that your alien 
refuses to move or shoot tor no 
apparent reason). You can come 
back and alter these once you've 
seen how they work. Set all four of 
the collision detection options to 
'yes', Exit back to the main menu

Choose Edit Attack Waves from

This takes you to a screen where 
you're asked to select your enemy. 
With enemy 1 selected, click on the

You'll be presented with a map of

Now you can position the sprite to 
define its precise start point, then 
draw out ils Hightpath with the joy-

COVERDISK 73 

Well, if CU Amiga isn't the hottest and the best, then I'll eat my 
crisps (Cheese *N' Chives - Urgh!). What's the biggest game this 
Christmas? Which game has more advertising than any other 
ever? What are we giving you a complete playable demo of? 
Acclaim's Mortal Kombat, of course. Would you ever expect less? 



Jil 




What kind of background do 
you need? StreetiigMer 2 
came out, and was hailed 
as the greatesl beal-'em-up ever, 
and then came Mortal Kombat In 
many ways it was a lot like 
Streetfighter, il had a variety of 
characters with different abilities, a 
collection of different back grounds 
and more special, hidden moves 
than you could ever hope to have 
the time to learn. 

It also brought something new - 
digitised graphics, A bunch of martial 
arts experts were filmed, and Ihen 
placed «n a game to obey the player's 
every command. Perhaps not the 
most dignified way to gel famous, but 
then what is 7 

Anyway, to cut a long story short. 
Mortal Kombat has finally come to 
the Amiga, and it has done it m style. 
Last month's 93% marit should have 
told you that, but just in case you 
didn't believe us, here is a complete 
one- or two-player playable level 
from the game! Choose to play either 
Sanya Blade or Lui Kang, and get 
your kicking finger ready! 



Come on, a game like this doesn't 
really need many rules. There are a 
lew guidelines you might want to 
take note of, if only because they're 
going to leave you with some very 
high scores. The obvious thing lo 
point out is thai it's a best otthree. If 
any player wins two fights in a row, 
then you don't fight a third, but you 
don't need to be told that, do you? 

There are no restrictions on com- 
bat at all. Use any means you can, 
including any special or death 
moves you may have to finish the 
job, Just finish in the time allotted- If 
you run out of time, then the person 
with the least damage scored 
against them wins. 

22 



If you are good enough to finish a 
bout without taking a single hit, then 
you score a Flawless Victory., and get 
yourself a 250,000 point bonus. Do it 
again, for a Double Flawless Victory, 
and not only do you get endless 
praise from all your mates and 
droves of the opposite sex beating a 
path to your door, but you also gel an 
enormous 500,000 point bonus. 

If you are about to win ihe sec- 
ond ot your two bouts, you will be 
prompted to finish him or her. At this 
point you should use your death 
blow to land a whopping 100,000 
point fatality bonus. If you have 
pulled off Ihe blow correctly, the 
screen will darken. 

Ready to fight? 

IHE MOVES 

Remember grasshopper, you have to 
walk before you can learn to run. 
Don;t start dreaming of special 
moves before you've mastered the 

basic moves of the characters, and 
to help you out, here's the whole list. 

WALK 

To walk in a direction, just point Ihe 
joystick the way you want to go, No 
lire button, nothing at all, 

STANDING BLOCK 

Like most games of this ilk, pulling 
the joystick in the direction away 
from your opponent with the tire but- 
ton held down blocks their attacks on 
you, In Mortal Kombat, il doesn't do it 
as perfectly as you would hope, Each 
blow still takes a little energy away. 
$0 don't just stand there getting hit if 
you can help It. 

LOW PUNCH 




To do a single low punch, push the 
joystick towards your enemy and 
press the lire button twice. To do a 
series ot.fast punches, press the fire 

button rapidly and continuously. 

HIGH PUNCH 

Exactly the same as the low punch,

edly to unleash a fury. 



LOW KICK

ROUND HOUSE KICK 

Once regarded as the cornerstone of 
early beat 'em ups, like Way CM The 
Exploding Fisl, the Roundhouse is a 
fast and powerful kick, and one that 
is quite hard lo block. To perform 
one, push the joystick in a down 
diagonal towards your opponer:. 




way as a low punch, except you only 
press the tire button once. If you are 
Close to Ihe character, you will use 
your knee instead of kicking. 

HIGH KICK 

To pull off a high kick, centre the joy- 
stick and tap the fire button once, Is 
this the easiest move m the world to 
pull off, Or what? However, be care- 
ful, if you are too close to the 
opponent, you'll throw them over 
your shoulder instead.

LEG SWEEP 

Possibly the hardest move to avoid, 
and if you're playing against Sonya. 
impossible to get away from. To 
sweep someone:, pull down and 
away from them without crouching. 

UPPERCUT 

II done correctly, this is the move that 
creates the most blood- Pull down on 
the joystick and then hold down (tie

what a jump is? Jusi press up to 
leave the ground. 

SOMERSAULT 

Some games just let you jump for- 
wards. Not Manat Kontbat Pushing

of! can appreciate. 

JUMPING PUNCH 

Jon Sloan gould pull this one off, 
though no-one knows how, To pull 
one off in the game, jump up by 
pushing up, then once you are in the

a little practice.

ANIMATION 

_ AND 

GRAPHICS 



Professional animators and 
graphic artists alike are 
beginning to realise the 
vast potential of the Amiga. 
Mat Broomfield plonks him- 
self in a front row seat and 
takes a look at how Amiga 
animation has made the 
leap from computer 
monitor to silver screen. 




Whether or nol you watch TV or go to ihe cin- 
ema, it's almost certain that you will have 
heard of r and probably seen al least one 
shining example of the Amiga's incredible versatil- 
ity as a video production too*. Whelher it's Aladdin, 
Jurassic Park, Seaquesl, Animaniacs or Babylon 5, 
the Amiga has demonstrated its abilities in impres- 
sive- style, and 1 that's just the tip ot the iceberg. 

YOUR FLEXIBLE FRIEND 

The thing is, the Amiga offers so many ways of 
creating and manipulating graphics, and 
"m not just talking about the new AG A 
machines either In lerms of conven- 
tional animation, the Amiga has an array 
of custom chips which give it an unbeat- 
able combination of high resolution, Jots 
of colours and ihe power to move l hem 
around the screen at a decant speed. 
That's not to say that a bog standard 
A500 is going to be capable of full- 
screen HAM mode animation, but 
that's not the be all and end all of 
things in any case. 

Professional animators have 
been using a Chromacctour sys- 
tem to produce quick pencil tests 
prior to colouring their work, The 
system consists of a frame and ani- 
mation bed. Each piece of hand 
drawn-animation is placed onto the 
bed of ihe unit and clipped into the frame for 
uniformity. Above the bed i$ a rostrum cam- 
era which poinls downwards at the paper 
below. The camera is linked to a digitiser 
which is. in turn, linked to an Amiga. By 
digitising successive frames, anima- 
tors can check that the motion of 
their characters is as they intended 
before passing the image over to be 
coloured in, The advantage of this 
system is that animators would oth- 
erwise have had to do ihe same job using 
costly and time consuming tilm, 









ANIMATION AND GRAPHICS SPECIAL 



CU AMIGA 






8avaRB& AN,M * roR 

-or the semi-pro animator, there are a couple of 
dedicated Amiga software packages that ensure 
you never even have to come near a piece of 
paper. The first one, The Disnsy Animation Studio, 
was produced by the Disney Studios themselves 
so you can be damned certain that it's been 
designed with the finished results, in mind- The 
Disney Animation Studio otters five levels of onion 
skinning and a quick means of sketching your 
frames. Although it's a few years old now, [he 
basics of two dimensional animation haven't 
changed so it's as relevant today as. it ever was. 

Presumably not wanting to be left out, Disney's 
arch rivals in the cartoon business Hanna Barbera 
have just launched their own package called ihe 
Animation Workshop. Forthcoming trom Empire, it's 
a cartoon animation package with the emphasis on 
speed and simplicity, including some innovations 
such as built-in digitiser (requiring a Rombc digitser 
cartridge) tor converting hand-drawn frames to 
mono bilmaps, and making extensive use of onion 
skinning techniques as used by traditional cartoon 
animators, it aims to carve a niche tor itself as a no- 
nonsense cartoon creation system, to gel you 
started there'll be officially licensed Hanna- Barbara 
clips and animations including Scooby Doo. The 
Flintstones. Yogi Bear and The Jetsons. 

Undoubtedly, the greatest movie revolution has 
been brought about by the accessibility of 3D pro- 
grams which can be used to add a new dimen- 
sion and level of realism to animations, 

Although Tron was the firs) to demonstrate the 
startling effect to which computer graphics could 
be used, il was films Such as Terminator 2 and the 
Abyss that really got the ball rolling, To be fair the 
Star Trek movies had incorporated extensive use 
of 3D computer graphics lo excellent effect, in 
scenes such as the time travel 1 and Genesis 
sequences. However, it was the stunning fluidity 
and total realism ot the T1000 robot in Terminator 
2 and the water probe in the Abyss that really trig- 
gered everyone's imaginations. 

Speaking of imaginations, imagine is one of the 
most widely used 3D ray tracing packages in the 
world, and because it's also available on the PC, 
Amiga owners benefit from a wide selection of 
ready-made 3D object sources, 



ms® 



IGA AT THE 



As I've already mentioned. Ihe Amiga has been used to 
help with many TV and film productions. Here's a selec- 
tion of the places il s been used: 

• Sea guest - On LWT Sundays 6.30pm -Video Toaster 
used lo create Ihe lilies and all underwater enenor 
machine shots (subs, bases, elcj. 

• Babylon 5 - Available on video - Video Toaster used 
extensively 1b crejle all spaceship ertgriors and many 
internal eliects as well. 

• Jurassic Park - In the cinema - Several hundred Video 
Toasters were used to create 30 previews ot the dinosaur 
animations prior to them being rendered on ihe lasier 
graphics engines. 

• Anim anises - Likely to be shown in Europe in early '94 
- The titles were #11 done in ulira high resolution using 
GVP's new Advanced Graphics System. 

• Robocop 2 -Avertable on video - The lace graphics ol 
the maniac rofrol were done on Ihe Amiga. 

• Aladdin - In the cinema - The 3D sections were done 
using Imagine 2. 




Before I go any further, quick explanation 

of the way that 3D prgrams work; objects are 
defined as a kind of three dimensional mesh. 
The surface of the mesh can be given colour, 
texture and reflective properties just like real 
objects. Unlike real objects^ these 3D 'mod- 
els' as they're called, can be squished and 
distorted, moved and resized at will. This 
makes them ideal for circumstances where 
a particular effect 
would be 
either physi- 
cally 

impossible to 
recreate (a car 
turning into a 
rocket tor example) 
or would be too costly 
(such as the animation of 
space ships or sub- 
marines). 

CARTOON 
HELPERS 

These models can 
also be used as a template in two- 
dimensional animation, and this is exactly what 
happened in Disney's Aladdin. There are four 
scenes in Ihe film where an exceptional level of 
three dimensional realism was called tor. Using 
conventional animation techniques, these scenes 
would have been impossible. 

For example, throughout the film a Persian car- 
pet Hies to and fro, and has a personality all of its 
own. Now that may seem unremarkable unlil you 
consider the fact that the carpet has a complex 
pattern on it, which, of course, has lo twist and turn 
in perfect synchronisation. So what was the solu- 
tion? Simply define a carpet model in /magrrteand 
map the pattern onto the model so ibal the two 
move as one. 

Now it's simply a matter of moving the carpet 
within the frame safe in ihe knowledge that the pat- 
tern will always perform as it should. Another 
important effect is the carpet ride from the collapse 
caverns. Aladdin and his monkey ride on the magic 
carpet whilst all around them the Tiger caverns, are 
collapsing and exploding. This caHs for a high level 
of perspective calculation, but with a 3D package, 
the computer takes care ol that, leaving the anima- 
tors more or less free to concentrate on the 
surrounding action. 

Of course, I wouldn't want to minimise the effort 
put in by Disney's team. The 3D program was sim 
ply a tool, and not one that saved time, To do tjie 
things that they did requires hundreds of hours of 
work, and entirely new skills had to be learned. 
The computer isn't a replacement for an animator's 
talent, it simply provides him with a new way to 
express it. 

THE QUEST FOR REALITY 

Back to ihe real world, and the 3D effects in 
Seaquest have been wowing Sunday night televi- 
sion viewers. What perhaps they didn't know is 
that all the special effects, including the sub- 
marines, Ihe Hyper Reality Probe, WlSKAS and all 
other undersea objects are actual 3D models cre- 
ated on the Amiga using the Video Toaster and 
Lightwave 3D software. 

The Video Toaster is a graphics and 
effecls engine designed for the NTSC tele- 
vision system. It comes in a number of c 
configurations but basically its a big box ^ 
Amiga (A2000, 3000 or 4000) with 
Newtek's proprietory hardware inside. The 
Toaster is supplied with a variety of tools to per- 
form; effects such as Picture in Picture, 



mulli-source mix- 
ing, titling and 
much more. However, 
it's a rendering engine that the program is becoming 
best known for in Europe. The reason for this is thai 
the WTSC television standard is Of notoriously poor 
quality and would not really be acceptible for display 
on the European PAL standard. Unfortunately the 
Toasters operation is totally integrated into this 
poorer display standard, To create a PAL version of 
Ihe hardware would require a total redesign that 
Newtek are not prepared to perform. 

LEARNING HOW TO DO IT 

Of course, it's one thing to know that all these 
great effects are possible, but another ihing 
entirely to treats them tor yourself. Now thanks to 
well written programs such as De-luxe Paint. 
Briitiance, imagine, Real 3D and a host of others, 
it's very easy to learn the basics, 

Mind you it's rather like owning a camcorder 
and wanting to get into film production. You can 
quickly start experimenting with limited effects 
and you'll doubtless have a lot of lun. Given many 
years of practice you might even conceivably 
become good enough to make your own films. 
However, with more powerful equipment and 
proper tuition you can accelerate that learning 
process massively. 

There's never really been a clear career path 
for people wanting to get into this kind of work. A 
good standard of art, or excellent design skills are 
obviously helpful, as are a knowledge of comput- 
ers and the kind of software available for them. 

Now at last, a dedicated college of animation 
offers courses in all the disciplines required lo 
become a suceesslul computer animator. Tony 
Dillon went to Dublin to check ihe college —

NG BOARD 

Amiga animation has come on in leaps and bounds over 
the last few years. So much so, in fact, it's now possi- 
ble to take a diploma in computer animation and 
graphics using you humble Amiga and a little bit of 
talent. Tony Dillon draws some conclusions.

A Irame Prom Wit at Ihe glotkius wnimalkms produced on Ihe course. 



We've known ail along how good the 
Amiga is at doing animated graphics. 
We've all seen what Tobias Richter and 
Eric Schwartz can do with a simple piece of soft- 
ware and a little time, Finally,, after what seems 
like an eternity, the world of animation is starting 
to wake up to trie fact that the Amiga is an excel- 
lent animal ion workstation. Names like Bluth and 
Disney may seem a little big for the- average 
Amiga animator, but already both companies are 
hiring animators trained in using AaOQCs and 
A40005- But where does an animator go to get 
noticed? Fairs? User groups? No, the Senior 
College in Ballyfermot. 

Unless you wortt in professional animation cir- 
cles, you probably wont have heard of the 
College. Hidden away in a Dublin suburb, the Arts 
block of the Senior College is Th$ PI&cq Tq Befor 
animation. Looking at some of the images across 
these pages (and note: none of these have been 
created by graduates. They are all images created 
by students working their way through the course), 
is it any wonder that Don Bluth himself forms part 
of the examination board? 

But before we dive in headfirst, a little history. 



30 



The college itself was officially opened in 1981 as 
'an exciting and challenging venture in Irish 
Education'. One of the onginal aims of the college 
was to provide training to meet the needs of busi- 
ness, industry, social services and the newer 
areas like radio, television, animation, computing 
and electronics. Four years ago the animation 
and computer courses met in an explosive and 
exciting way and, wilh a little encouragement 
from Sheridan College, Toronto, the Dipioma in 
Computer Animation and Graphics was born. 



mNSflC 



S ARE BETTER 



Two of ihe minds behind the course are Principal 
Jerome Momsey and teacher Sieve Macken, and 
it was these two genial gentlemen who proudly 
took me through the college while explaining how 
the course works. Essentially, you start with a 
three year course in c'assical animation - the real 
McCoy - where students learn how to create the 
illusion of movement convincingly, the best shots 
and direction techniques, character animation, 

A mounted video camera and a Irame gr abbe* is 
used lo check animations. 



body movements - in short, the basic skills any 
animator would need. 

An actual course in animation seems like such 
an obvious idea; you wonder why more colleges 
haven't jumped on the bandwagon. For example, 
the Disney-owned Sheridan College, formed in 
1970, is now regarded as the leading animation 
educational institute. Essentially, if you get a pass 
from Sheridan, then youarealready haM way to a 
very successful career in animation. They intro- 
duced a computer animation course in 1982, and 
now Senior College have taken that same course, 
modified it to their own needs and are now running 
an extremely successful diploma. The standards 
are high, naturally, especially when you consider 
the fact that many students are actually being 
taken on by Disney and Bluth before they even fin- 
ish the third year of the course P 

After the three years of classical animation, by 
which time the students are more than capable of 
producing extremely professional results, they can 
opt to start computer animation. This way, the stu- 
dents can ilearn every aspect of animation and 
then apply it to the digital medium. As Steve 
Macken explains; 'You have to know Ihe rules 
before you can break them. In classical animation, 
everything is curves and arcs. Sn computer anima- 
tion, everything is straight lines,' By leaching the 
students to work in ares., and then applying that to 
something like Imagin9, you move into reel photo- 
realistic animation. Believe me when I tell you that 
the screenshots on these pages do the animations 
themselves no justice at all. When this lot gel into 
the software industry, there are a lot of people 
who are going to lose their jobs, 

FRUIT LOOPS 

Interestingly enough, the first thing the students 
have to do when they start creating graphics on 
the Amiga is a bowl of fruit! For those who have

Hoi every draws on real life, as th is futuristic battle scene from

ever do is a bowl of fruit to show your under- 
standing of scale, light and texture. Students sit 
down with Imagine 2 and create the most photo- 
realistic apples and oranges they can, but with 
I he one restriction that they are not allowed to 
use any of the in-built textures. As you can see 
from the pictures on this page, it makes for some 
very different fruilbowls! 

This might seem a bit of a grandiose statement, 
but you really have to see some of the animations 
that haven't made the grade to understand ifie lev- 
els attained, One student, drew and 1 animated a 
Qu&en concert, Although similar lo the original 
video, the art is stylised and simplified, and shows 
excellent use of timing and synchronising. 
However, it didn't pass as the judges claimed it 
was too close to (he original, and couldn't really be 
graded as classical animation. This isn't a sob 



story, by the way. Although the student in question 
didn't gain his degree, he still went lo work for 
Bluth Ireland. Obviously what's giood enough for 
the general public isn't good enough for the Senior 
College BFiliylornot 

But what do.es this really have to do with the 
Amiga world, you might well ask. How does a 
quarter of a million spent on Amiga hardware and 
software sound lo you? The course started small a 
couple of years ago with a handful 1 ot A5&0s. but 
since then the network has grown to include six 
A400u$, four A3000 Towers and 14 A3uu0s! Every 
machine has ai least 1 8 Mb of RAM. a 250 Mb 
hard drive, a 24-bit graphic board and all are con- 
nected lo a Beta SP high grade video recorder. 
They chose the Amigas simply because there was 
nothing to compare to Deluxe Palm VI AGA or 
Imagine 2 an the PC. Sure, there are rendering 
packages a plenty across ihe PC, but power per 
pound, the Amiga makes the best sense. Of 
course, Jerome would iove to have a few Silicon 
Graphic workstations dotted about the place, but 
cost is always the restrictive bone of contention, 

QUIETLY CONFIDENT 

Jerome Moirisey is very upbeat about the course, 
and very excited. Anyone who has ever" spoken to 
a teacher or head teacher about a course will 
know how exciled they can get, bul lo me lhat 
excitement always seems false, With Jerome, 
though, it is mosl definitely genuine. He had an 
idea, and it's now working beautifully in practice- 
There is still plenty of room for expansion as 
there always will be, but the people alongside him 
such as Steve Macken, Andrew Phelan, Philip 
Dunne, Jason McDonald, Caroline Peels and 
everyone else on the course, are participating in 
a revolution, and the Senior College is the place 
that will be known for taking computer animation 
into the nexi century. /?*

GRAPHICS AN 











D ANIMATION SPECIAL 










" 



For years Deluxe Paint 
has ruled the roost as the 
Amiga's premier paint 
package. Brilliance is the 
first program that stands 
a real chance of stealing 
Its thunder. 

In the Amiga's earliest days, the only painl pack- 
age was a hideous piece of software called 
Graphic Craft. It was a clunky old thing thai 
didn't even have a tool for drawing circles. In late 
1 985 Deluxe Paint was released and met with a 
rapturous reception winning awards across the 
world. A standard was set lor art packages which, 
while frequently contested, was never bested. 
Some of the worthier opponents over the years 
included Photon Paint,, Spectracobur and 
Digipairtt It's interesting to see that all the worth- 
while competition came in (he form of HAM-only 
programs. This was one of the areas of weakness 
in the earlier versions of DPainl. and in tact it 
wasn't until version 4 that Electronic Arts thought 
to include support tor this quirky screen mode. 

32 



HAM mode is a special Amiga screen mode 
that lets you use up to 40&6 colours at once on a 
normal Amiga, or 256,000 on an AQA machine. 
The thing about this mode is that it's quirky to pro- 
gram for, and most people don't use il except 
when handling digitised pictures. Games newer 
use this mode because the screen updates are so 
slow and results can be extremely unpredictable. 
This makes it useless for arcade games. Another 
undesirable side effect of this screen mode is that 
picture files are rather large, and this makes them 
impractical for inclusion in adventure-style games. 

TAKE IT FROM THE TOP 

Deluxe Paint was designed by an American called 
Dan Silva. It was originally written as a program- 
mer's tool, hence the fact that it has no support lor 
HAM mode. It was never originally intended to be 
used as an art package, It was for designing 
game graphics and nothing else * 

As the program's popularity became 
evident, it was bundled with the * 

Amiga, and in fact there's almost never *. 
been a time when it was not included with the 
machine in Britain. 

Responding to increasing pressure from their 
users, Electronic Arts included animation with ver- 
sion 3, but held off till the next release to add HAM 
mode support.. 



Version 4.0 offered support tor HAM-6 mode, 
which is the type of HAM used on the pre-AGA 
Amigas. Unfortunately this was almost immedi- 
ately made obsolete by the release of the Ai 200 
and A4QC0. However, Electronic Arts were very 
quick to respond and, in next to no time, DPaint 
AGA appeared with full support Of HAM-S as well 
as HAM-6 and all the non-HAM screen modes 
(including axtra-halfbrite). 

Unfortunately, aHhough the new machines offer 
accelerated processing, the HAM-6 mode 
is so processor intensive that it's all but 
unusable unless you have a 68030 or ^t

» SB040 based 
Amiga. 

So now the 
stage had been set. 
Despite restrictions, 
Deluxe Paint had thus far resisted all challengers 
and the AGA version set the standard that all other 
programs had to reach. 

AMD THE CHALLENGER IS— 

Digital Creations meanwhile had been doing their 
own thing as far as Amiga graphics were con- 
cerned. In the days belore AGA, they released a 
board called DCTV which could handle several mil- 
lion colours on-screen at once, and was ideal for 
animation. They started developing what ihey 
hoped would be the ultimate Amiga graphics pro- 
gram. With a programming team lhal collectively 
have more experience with Amiga graphics pro- 
grams than anyone else, it comes as no surprise 
trial their sights are set so high. 

After a considerable amount of pre-release 
hype and speculation Brilliance finally hit the 
streets in the third quarter of 1 993. 

„ THE BATTLE 

The lirst important difference between Ihe pro- 
grams is evident before you even load them. No, 
rm not talking about the box design (although 
Brilliance's box is cheap by comparison to 
DPaint's), I'm talking about the fact that

DetuxePainl is a single program which incorpo- 
rates a HAW and non-HAM engine. Load that 
program and you can switch treely between the 
screen modes without having lo reload the pro- 
gram each time. Brilliance, on the other hand, is 
two separate programs: True Brilliance, a true 
colour program for manipulating HAM and 24-bit 
images; and Brilliance, a register-based program 
which deals with all other screen modes. 

FEARSOME TWOSOME 

The reasoning behind having two separate pro- 
grams is that the requirements of a HAM art 
package are very different to those of a non-HAM 
one, To a certain extent Digital Creations have 
overcome this by forcing their program to use full 
1 5 or 24-bit colour registers internally, before con- 
verting the data for output to the existing screen, 
Nevertheless, because of the vast paiette available 
even to a HAM-6 image, let alone a HAM-B or 24- 
bit one, functions such as the stencil have to 
work in different ways. 

Deluxe Painl deals with this problem 
by implementing different parts of code 
according to the screen mode. But, to be 
fair, this solution is a long way short of fc. 
the oplimum. 

Nevertheless, I have to say that I prefer not 
to have to decide what screen mode CI work in 
before I load the software. 

Another important difference between the pro- 



grams is the matter of copy protection. Whilst 
DPaini uses a serial number which uniquely iden- 
tifies each copy of ihe program, but which is 
extremely easy to copy, Brilliance uses a serial 
number and a dongle. The dangle must be 
plugged into the joystick port before the program 
will run. I strongly dislike this form of protection, 
which, in any case, is not enough to deter the 
professional pirates and the boot-sale merchants. 
It wouldn't be so bad if the dongle had a through 
port so it could be leH plugged in permanently, 
but as it is, you have to unplug if each time you 
need the joystick port (perhaps tor another don- 
gle). I currently have eight programs that 
use dangles and they drive me mad - / S\ 
except Scala which does have a f 

through port,

although Brilliance some- 
limos presenls Ihem in a 
more ujcMritrKlly wav. 

Anyway, time to load the 

programs. DPaint always interrupts the loading 

sequence to give you registration information and 

ask for your preferred screen mode. Brilliance, on 

the other hand, just jumps straight into the program. 

Brilliance bears more than a passing resem- 
blance to Photon Paint with its horizontal tool box 
and itsnot-quite Workbench 2.0 colour scheme. 
DPaint, of course, has its toolbox running down the 
right oHhe screen. The upshot ol this seemingly 
superficial difference in positioning is that Brilliance 
manages to get an impressive 31 tools on the 
screen, at once, whereas DPainl only manages 20. 
It also means that more of the screen is occupied 
by menus, but strangely enough this doesn't seem 
intrusive. That's just as well because the difference 
in Digital Creations' approach is far more funda- 
mental than simply repositioning the tool bar. 

After extensive consultations wiih some of the 
world's best known artists, they decided; thai the 
ultimate art package didn't need drop-down 
menus at all. In fact, as much as possible, all 
selection is done via icons, with text being 
restricted to the essentials. Whilst this approach. 
works extremely well with the drawing lools, I leal 
much more comfortable selecting important func- 
tions like load and save from a proper menu 
rather than choosing Iram icons which I could 
conceivably mistake in a hurry. 

THE SAME*.. BUT DIFFERENT 

At first it looks as if Brilliants has more or less the 
same drawing tools as Deluxe Paint. This is 

Left: Here's a picture variously processed In Brilliance. The 
many different effects make Brilliance a good ch oic-e lor rs- 
tOtlChlng high, telmttlen 25* colour, HAM-B or 24-blt images. '

ceaaes, and neither can It work on 1f u* 24-hit Irnagrt*. but it gels 
by well with Its llrnlled selection. 





FILE FORMATS 

One important la dor distinguishes Brilliant* from DPaiM, 
and itiai s lis ability la work with 24-bil images. How at 
course, ihese can"! be displayed un the screen in all their 
glory, but on an AGA machine in HAM-S mode, the loss ol 
colour resolution is all tiul invisible. This mikes it ideal 
lor retouching 24- bit images 

The program can also load and save 15-bil pictures, as 
welt as the other indigenous Amiga image formats. 

Deluxe Paint 4 ASA makes an effort, arid tan at lea si 
load 24-bil images, even il it can't save them. 



inevitable because no matter how sophisticated 
the new features, all art packages need some 
fundamental drawing tools such as freehand, 
lines, circles etc, Us to Digital Creations' credit 
that they even managed to make some small but 
significant changes to these basic tools, because 
il illuslrates the attention to detail that their design 
team must have shown. 

For example, there's an arc tool for creating 
curves, but the tool also doubles up 10 give you a 
Bezier option for creating complex curves (those 
which either exceed 360- or which change direc- 
tion within the curve). The circle tool has gone, and 
this option is now combined with the ellipse tool. 
To create a circle simply press the Caps Lock key 
whilst drawing an ellipse, Release it and the shape 
becomes a circle. Brilliance also lets you rotate 
ellipses once they're drawn; a feature which was 
absent from DPainl . 

On the subject of ellipses (and rectangles too 
lor that matter), Brilliance offers you a choice ol 
drawing methods lor these shapes, and each is 
useful in different circumstances, The two choices 
are comer to corner, or centre to comer. 

The airbrush tool in Brilliance has also received 
the treatment, and now has two antra parameters 
which can be used to make it behave much more 
like a real air brush. The first of these is the flow 
rate. In DPalnt the flow is constant, and only 
changes relative to the area being covered 

For instance, if you are covering an area two 
inches across, the flow will be slow, whereas 
when spraying an area a quarter of an inch 
the rate of flow is much faster. Added to 
that, Brilliance lets you adjust the focus of 
the spray, defining whether or not

THE DOWNSIDE 

The text tool is one weakness that both programs 
share, although each of them handle text badly in 
their own unique way! Neiltier of them support any 
form of justification, and only the simplest form of 
Styling (bold, italics and undertint) can be applied 
to the text. Both programs can handle bitmapped, 
scalable and colour fonts. Brilliance even supports 
a rather bizarrely implemented form of manual 
kerning to make certain letter pairs look more natu- 
ral together. When using DPaint, test is typed 
directly onto the screen, and to move it you need 
to pick it up as a brush. Brilliance, on Hie other 
hand, lets you enter text into a string which then 
automatically becomes a brush ready to be posi- 
tioned. The disadvantage ot this system is that you 
need to reseiect the text gadget for each new line 
of text because you can only enter s single line at 
a time. 

When it comes to brush handling Brilliance is 
far more flexible, both in terms of the way that 
brushes are picked up, and the way that they can 
be stored and manipulated, For example, DPaints 
freehand cut mode is actually a polygon cut. A 
shape is defined using a series of connected lines 
which must link to form an enclosed shape, 
Closing the shape can be a game on its own 
sometimes! Brilliance offers you a true freehand 
cut called Carve. Wherever you move the scalpel a 
line will appear. When you dose the shape the 
brush is lifted. Better yet, Ihe brush will only 
encompass the area you cut. unlike DPaint which 
encloses the brush in a rectangle. 

Once the brush has been cut, there are a vast 
number of operations that can be performed upon 
it. In this regard DPaint was always a bit of a 
ground breaker, providing options to rotate and 
slew, bend and resize your brush. Unfortunately, it 
handles memory very badly so trying 1o perform 
these operations upon a full screen brush is usu- 
ally impossible. Even when it is possible, it's often 
so slow that it's all but unusable, SnWanceyet 
again scores here because, ol course, it can not

only handle full screen brushes, it can perform 
brush manipulations faster and with more flexibility, 

DRAW MODI VARIETY 

Another area that DPaint pioneered and which 
both programs, still score very highly on is the 
range of drawing modes that they offer. These 
can be used to alter the way that 'ink' is laid on 
the screen, and are particularly useful to those 
who are either very creative or who have artistic 
training. 

Here again, Brilliance wins, out, but only just 
thanks to its Negative, Not, Lighten and Average 
Smear options. 

When it comes to animaiion : Brilliance quite 
simply stomps on the opposition, although yel 



again DPaint gamely rallies and manages to pro- 
vide a lew very important features not offered by 
its rival. 

For instance, it supports a feature that they call 
Light Table. To a professional animator it's better 
known as onion skinning and it's a way of looking 
at dim versions of previous frames in a sequence 
in order to check that the design and movement of 
the current frame is correct. For animators who 
have learnt their craft the traditional way, this- is an 
invaluable feature, and one that Brilliance seems 
strangely to have omitted- 

By way of compensation though, it does pro- 
vide a vastly more powerful tweening section, 
Tweening is the process of defining the start and 
end of a movement and allowing the computer to

THE BATTLE HAS JUST BEGUN... 

You ean'1 iiav« tailed tri notice liial Brilliance seems Id fare ton- 
snlerahly rjeiler lltun Deluxe Pamt in this review and deservedly 
so. I| would rial bs an unreasonable Ihrnrj !o ask whether or «qi 
the package which has dominated Ihe Amiga market for so many 
years is liiially going lo resl in peace. 

The answer Id thai musl surely be a fesounding hell ng! 
There are Iwd reasons why Deluxe PaiflJloDks likely lo stay i" 
Hi*! game \m Ihe foreseeable future. Firstly il is bundled Irce with 
hundreds of thousands ol Ainigas worldwide every year. Tins 
means 1 ha t there a re a srmiJa r ou mber at re c roils lo the rjra gram , 

wu'hii'i!''' ■/ ''" u1 w ' ,ose ,us ' ,asEfi D ' ai flmiD3 graphics package is OPainl. 

[he oilier imp aria nl thing Is consider is Electronic Arts' record 
in Ihis arena . They're itefinilelv nol ones lo lie still and lake a battering, and; histori- 
cally speaking, csmpeliliDn has always made thsin bounce back with an even stronger 
product. Even before Brilliance hit the streets Electronic- Arts had begun Ihe detailed 
consultations necessary to design the new program. Now with the benelit ol seeing what 
makes Brilliance in good, it's sale to say that Deluxe Painl 5 w\\ really he something lo 
shout about. 



work out the intervening frames. Both programs are quite strong in this are, 
Deluxe Paint with its Move requester and Brilliance with its tweening tool. 

In DPaint you specify a start point by stamping a brush onto the screen. 
You then define the end point as a position relative to Ihe start point. You can 
also define any rotations that you want Ihe brush to perform in transit. 

Brilliance takes a slightly different, but far more logical approach. Again 
you d&fine the start point of the brush (although this time you do so by enter 
ing an x h y, z coordinate). You must also enter ihe end point in the same way. 
The end 1 co-ordinates can eilher represent an absolute position or a relative 
one. 

Where the program really scores is its Adjust option which lel$ you detine 
the $lart and end points by dragging the brush into position., You can position 
it in all three axes as well as defining any rotations it is to perform, 

As if that weren'l enough you can now adjusl the opacity (transparency) 
of a brush as it moves, which makes the program ideal for video titling where 
fade in and outs are needed. This option is particularly useful when per- 
formed on an AG A image. 

UFE IN THE OLD GIRL YET 

One of the more frequently used options of any paint package is its till 
modes. Deluxe Paint scores very highly in this regard, offering 13 different 
types of fill type ranging from perspective and pattern fills, to every conceiv- 
abte type of di; tiered fill. Brilliance only appears to offer 10 different till types, 
unlit you notice that there are two additional options (Conform and Centre) 
which can alter the way that all of the other fills work, increasing the total 
number ot effects from 1 to 40- 

In addition to that, there's also an Ordered Fill mode (which DPaint lacks} 
that works by tilling wrlti a pattern of ink coloured pixels, combining them with 
either the background ink or the paper colour. This fill mode is particularly 
useful when you're working in a high resolution or wrtb a limited palette. 

CONCLUSION 

Deluxe Paint 4 is undeniably a very powerful and flexible program that rightly 
deserves its place ot honour near the top of the pile. It seems to me that in 
creating Brilliance Digital Creations must have looked al every tiny feature 
that made DPaint so good, and thought to themselves; 'How can we improve 
upon that?'. If they came gp with an answer, it was implemented, if not. 
things were left well enough alone. Ninety-nine per cent of the time Digital 
Creations came with improvements that make a diflerence. 

The only absolutely essential thing that they could neither improve upon 
nor duplicate was the sense of familiarity and friendliness that DPaint offered 
its users. In fact, to a certain extent, DPaint itself had losl some of that 
'homely' feel when it was upgraded from version 3 to version 4, and many 
users still feel that version 3 was the best Electronic Arts ever developed. 

In terms of design and sheer specifications Digital 
Creations really seem to have done everything right. 
Sure I use it all the lime. After all, it can do things that no 
other program can, Still, I also like to use DPaint where 
possible. Try it out and see what /

GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION SPECIAL 




INTERVIEW WIT 
JIM SAC 



GRAPHICS HUD 



Jim Sachs is widely acclaimed as one of the Amiga's most popular artists, 
and a mover in powerful circles. He took time out of his busy schedule 
to speak to Mat Broomf ield. 



Jim Sachs left college in 1977 and went 
straight into the airfares. After serving six 
years as a C141 pilot, he founded a com- 
pany called Sachs Enterprises. He takes up the 
story from there. 

Jfrti: I was freshly out of the airforce and looking 
for something to buikJ a career on. I was always 
interested in art, graphics, technology and things 
like that. Suddenly everyone was getting into 
computers. So I went out and got a Commodore 
64 to try to learn what I was missing. 

Within a month I found that I had a flair tor il 
and was writing machine language programs. I 
found that it had the ability to show much more 
realistic graphics than mosl other platforms, so I 
thought thai was a good niche for me to try to till. 
I started doing graphics on graph paper and 
transposing them into the computer in hexadeci- 
mal arithmetic because there were no art 
programs or anything at that point. 

I created a scene of downtown Washington 
DC and it turned out so well that my wife sug- 
gested making it into a game. So I added soma 
flying saucers and thallormed the oasis for my 
first game on the Commodore 64 called Saucer 
Attack. 

JMaf; Is that game the inspiration lor your sauce/ 
demo on the CD32? 
J/m:Yes, it is 

Mat: So you started out wnting games tor the 
C64, Did you write any more games for that com- 
puter? 

Jim: I marketed that one out of my house. Piracy 
at that time was just terrible on the Commodore 
64. I was about half way through another project 
called Time Crystal when \ heard that the Amiga 
was coming out, I decided to switch, which was a 
very hard decision because I'd spent about a 
year and a hall, almost two years on TVme 
Crystals. 

So, basically, I took everything I'd done on the 
64 and bought a ticket to West Chester, 
Pennsylvania, \ want to Commodore unan- 
nounced and 1 talked to Paul Goheen who was 
the head of Commodore software at that time. So 
I just went into his office and showed him what I 
could do on the Commodore 64 and asked, if I 
could be a developer on the Amiga which wasn't 
actually oul yet at that point. He agreed and 
within a month I was working for them, 
Mat: And you really hadn't had any contact with 
1ham prior to that point? 

Jim: Absolutely. Although they were familiar with 
Saucer Attack and were considering talking to 
me about publishing it under their label. 
Mat: So you mentioned that you were interested 
in graphics and obviously that's your trademark. 
Oo you have any formal training either in art or 
graphic design? 
Jim: No, None at all 



Mat: So it was just something that you did as a 
hobby? 

Jim: Yes, I've always done quite a bit of it. But 
as far as formal training goes, when I was in col- 
lege all of the art training seemed to be moving 
towards modern art and things that I wasn't inter- 
ested in at all. I was interested in highly detailed, 
highly realistic graphics. What they wanted you to 
do in college art classes was stand 20 feet away 
and throw painl al the canvas! 
M&t: So a stupid question perhaps, but what are 
you like on paper? Can you use a pencil or oils 
perhaps? 

Jim; Yeah. I don't much anymore, but just alter I 
got Out of the air to rce I supported myself by 
doing pencil sketch portraits for 25 dollars each. 
In fact, the main reason I got into it was that I felt 
a bit weak on the human face so I tried to teach 
myself. I've worked with airbrush, charcoal, 
watercolours, oils, just about everything that's out 
there. But I really prefer the computer. 
Mat: I gather you were not happy with the origi- 
nal version of Defender of the Crown. What 
reservations did you have? 
Jim: I was relatively happy with il at the time. All 
the music and the artwork had been done before 
the programmer was finalised, We had already 
tried two different programming teams who'd 
found it too difficult. I suggested to Cinemaware 
that we hire RJ Michael who designed the oper-

ating system for the Amiga. In trying to get it 

done so quickly, he was not able to use any data 

compression at all, so the game had to be on two 

disks instead ot one, and even then a lot of my 

original artwork had to be cut out. I was also 

never really happy with the music. 

Mat: To what extent were the graphics in the 

game influenced by films? 

Jim: Robin Hood is a pretty good one because 

things are very colourful in thai. Of course, the 

actual game is based on Ivanhoe. 

Mat: So l hat was the basis for the plot? 

Jim: Yeah. Almost exactly taken Iron Ivanhoe. A 

lot of the names too. When I did Defender of the 

Crown 2, I based it even more closely on ivanhoe 

in that now the goal of the game is not to try to 

lake over England and become King. It's to raise 

£20,000 to ransom Richard the Lionheart back 

from Austria, 

Mat; I believe you did that to get ihe historical 

accuracy? 




1RAPHICS AND ANIMATION SPECIAL 



CU AMIGA 



Jim: Right. 

Mat: So is absolute accuracy and realism very 

important to you in game design then? 

Jim: As far as visuals go, yeah I think so. People 

are looking lor something that looks authentic. 

The costumes are authentic, the way the castles 

are constructed is believable. I think it really adds 

a lot to any project. 

Mat: You said that you applied to be involved in 

Commodore development in 1985. Where did 

that actually lead you? 

Jim: When I received my Amiga I worked tor 

about 30 days ju$t experimenting with it, The only 

graphics program available was Graphic Craft 

which was a really hard program to use. It was 

commissioned from Island Graphics by 

Commodore. 

A lot of features that we take for granted now 
were just not implemented. You couldn't even 
draw circles! So anyway, I did about eighl or 10 
screens just to experiment, to see how far I could 
push the envelope. Then I took those to the first 
Amiga show which was in San Francisco in about 
February '86, I wandered around and showed my 
screens to people and got a lot of interest, but 
the two companies that really lured me ware 
Cinemaware who were only in the conceptual 
stage at that point, and Aegis Development, 
Mat: And that, of course, led on to Defender of 
(he Crown, So at that time you were working with 
Commodore and Cinemaware? 
Jim: No, not with Commodore. They were sup- 
porting me with developer hardware and 
information, A lot of my graphics ended up- being 
used in their advertisemenis and in different 
demos- and things like that. Few people ever 
asked me if they could do that, it was just taken 
for granted. 

Mat It would be irue to say that Defender of the 
Crown helped self Amigas as that graphic style 
epitomised the promise offered by the Amiga. 
What else did you do with Cinemaware? 
Jim: \ was only the art director at Cinemaware 
during Defender of the Crown. The working con- 
ditions were so bad that I told them that was 
going to be my one and only project. 
Mat: What was the problem there? 
Jim: Unbelievable pressure. People calling me at 
one and two in the morning lq make sure I was 
still wooing, Everylhing was riding on that pro- 
ject. It was the first Cinemaware game to come 
out and it had to set the whole style and tone for 
a whole new genre of computer games.. If you 
look at everything prior to that, it was pretty much 
Pacman\ 

Mat: But it succeeded, of course. 
Jim: Yeah, and I'm very gratified lo see how far 
it's gone. I mean it was very lonely. I would leach 
classes and try to make people understand that 
Pacman is not the only style that this compuler 
can do. 

Mat: Are you satisfied with the job that you've 
done on Defender 37 

Jim: Considering the age of the project, yes I'm 
pleased with the way it turned out. I got lo add 
almost everything I wanted to make it as good as 
the original version should have been. 
Met: I understand that you had some input on the 
COTV? 

Jim: I did all the graphics that are built into 
CDTV. The rotating disk screen, the user inter- 
face for the preferences and the audios panel, 
and all that kind of stuff, that's all my design. On 
the CD32 that's not true, even though I was hired 
to do most of it. They changed it so drastically 
that I don't want my name even connected with il 
now. 
Mat: So tell me about (he original CD32 designs,

Jim: I designed the start-up for when you turned 

the machine on. There was some music - a fan- 
fare. They kept that. Then the letters C and 
rotated to form a CD. Then the word Amiga 
formed out of a kind of aurora effect in the back- 
ground above lhat burned' in red and then the 
letters CD came in a kind of lightning effect Then 
the colour cycling started in the background and 
they kept some of that, but they changed the 
logo. 

Mat; They didn't like it? 
Jim: They told me that I had a completely free 
hand to design what I wanted, but then it turned 
out they had already started using another 
design which they'd had licenced as their trade 
mark. So what Lew Eggebrecht told me was just 
not true. The art department there was already 
much farther along than I had been led to 
believe. 

Mai: Did that make you angry? 
Jim: Yeah. Not angry because they changed 
something I'd done, but because they changed 
my work for artwork that I wouldn't have 
accepted from; one of my students on the 
Commodore 64 lei alone the Amiga. This is the 
face to the world, by which the whole machine 
will be judged. Thai low resolution graphic makes 
the CD32 look like a toy rather than a serious 
contender for the Jaguar and the 3DO. 

Hardware-wise the CD32 is every bit as good 
as those other machines, but people won't per- 
ceive il that way because of this toy-like 
atmosphere (hat's set as soon as you turn the 
machine on. 

Mat; You keep referring to the teaching that 
you've done, Can you expand on that? 
Jim: l did a series of seminars on the Amiga. I 
did all ol the Ami Expos including Germany. I also 
gave seminars at colleges and different meeting 
halls where I taught for an entire weekend. I 
taught everything from how to draw, how to ani- 
mate and how to record cleanly in a desktop 
video environment. I wasn't on very good terms 
with Newtek and after Video Toaster came out I 
stopped teaching because lhat was the way that 
everybody seemed to want to go Nobody wanted 
to do two dimensional graphics anymore. 
Mat; Changing Ihe subject now. Do you Ihink that 
Commodore has what it takes to carry the com- 
pany forward to the future? 
Jim: Mo! wrlh the present administration, There 



are some upper level management problems that 
umm, well let's just say that, in my opinion, Jim 
Dione was not the right guy to go. 
Mat: So what's the situation as you see it? 
Jim: From what J understand, there's a move- 
ment to get a delegation together to go to the 
next stockholder's meeting which is held in the 
Bahamas. The reason it's held there is because 
that's where Irving Gould lives. It's very difficult 
tor stockholders in the US to go to these meet- 
ings. So there's a movement to go to l he 
Bahamas and raise a point of order to put this 
before the voters. 

The two seats on the board that are up for 
contention are Irving Gould and Alexander Haig 
(who is the former Secretary of State, by ihe 
way). This movement wants to replace these two 
people with their own people so that the interests 
of the stockholders are better represented. 

The idea is once the grass roots movement 
people gel at least two of their people onto the 
board, they can swing the board into releasing 
[very long pause] well, let's just say a VERY 
senior member of staff. I don't know how to say 
this without mentioning his name, bui there's one 
person at Commodore in a very high level posi- 
tion that has no interest in computers at all - no 
interest in making computers whatsoever. He's 
just in it for the money, And in our view [the grass 
roots movementj a computer company should be 
run by people that are very interested and fasci- 
nated by the product that they're making. 
Mat: I notice that you're very reluctant to mention 
this person's name. Is that for legal reasons or 
because you fear repercussions? 
Jim: Oh no. Commodore has paid every bill they 
ever owed me and they're not indebted to me at 
all, so I'm free and clear of Commodore at this 
point, I'm just not sure if my saying things like 
this will cause more harm than good, As things 
stand right now, I'm switching to 3 DO. If the 
upper level management changes at 
Commodore, I'm 

perfectly willing to come back to the CD32 and do 
some major development on it. 
Mat: Speaking of 3DO, how much of a threat do 
you Ihink that poses to the CD32? 
Jim: At the current price point there's no threat At 
ihe price point thai 3DQ could theoretically sell at rt 
would be very competitive price-wise with CD32. 
I'm not sure if that's privileged information or not, w

n so if I don't word it any stronger I nan lhat, you 
know why. I know what ihey can go down to and 
they tan be very, very competitive against the 
CD32 if they want to. 

Don't fall for the myth that 3DO is tar more 
superior hardware -wise to CD32. it's not. In some 
respects CD32 will beat 3DO in just raw resolu- 
tion. CD32 has over four times the resolution of 
300. 

Mat: So how's the CD32 doing over there? 
Jim: It hasn't really launched over here yet. There's 
no advertising or anything, Still, it's a very strong 
piece of hardware and it's just a matter of getting 
the nght support. They need some American devel- 
opers loo. They've only got British and maybe a few 
German developers right now. 

They made a big mistake in not telling the devel- 
opers about it a year ago at the big developer's 
conference in Florida. They made a lot of enemies 
thane. A lot of companies paid their own way to be 
there from all over the world, and they went there 
thinking that they were going to hear all about the 
latest thing lhat Commodore was working on. But 
no, the machine was never mentioned. A lot of peo- 
ple were really upset about that 
Mat: But isn't it a lair point lhat with the market 
becoming ever more competitive, that they should 
want to stop the opposition Irom finding out what 
they're up to for as long as possible. Especially 
Sega who had their own MegaCD product? 
Jim: Well the Sega machine was already out at that 
point and within the first 30 days it sold 30,000 units. 
Nintendo is still way off on the horizon even now. So 
no, I don't see that as a problem. 

Commodore was way ahead o( everybody 



else with the technology. I would have liked to 
see them tell all the developers about it, Get them 
started on it. You know it fakes a long time to 
develop a CD32 title, especially anything that's 
based on a movie or something, Like a good ver- 
sion of Jurassic Park, maybe Jurassic Park 2, 
that rivals the movie. There's no reason that the 
graphics thai we're seeing on CD32 can't be al 
least as good as the movie. Not the usual little 
overhead view, typical computer game style- 
Thai's just a sore point with me because I've 
been campaigning for over a year to be the one 
to do Jurassic Park on CD32 and then they gave 
it to Ocean. 

Mat: You were also involved with Brilliance, the 
new art package from Digital Crealions. What 
was your level of involvement there? 
Jim: They would ask my advice about different 
user interface issues and features that I would 
like to see in it. I have a very heavy time invest- 
ment in Deluxe Paint. I had more time learning 
and using DeJyxe Paint \ha.n... well probably than 
anybody else in the world? Sixteen hours a day 
staring at that screen for seven years with almost 
no days off. 

I was already on friendly terms with Digital 
Creations and they came to me a* little over a year 
ago and asked me if I would lend my thoughts to 
what the user interface should include, At the 
same time they commissioned me to do the illus- 
tration that would form the bos cover and would 
feature in all their advertisements. For that they 
gave me an Amiga 4000 and a monitor to go with 
it and a last modem because we had to modem 
the picture back and forth every couple of days as 
they kept wanting changes made to it. In fact, I 
did that picture using a very early beta of the pro- 
gram, and my experiences using it helped them 
to improve it even more. 
Mat; So how long did that title screen take you? 
Jim: That took about three weeks ol solid wdrk and 
about another week when you combine all the 
retouches and changes that were made. 
Mat: How do you feel it compares to DPainP 
Jim: I've switched from DPa/nf for the most part. 
There are a couple of things in DPaini 3 that I find 
easier to use. I'm not talking about DPaintA.5. 



Because the palette requester in that is in HAM, 
it's unusable for a professional. Now Brilliance 
has an interrupt halfway down the screen and the 
colours can change on every single scan line so 
everything in the palette is exactly what you'll see 
on the screen - nothing in HAM or anything like 
that. But every once in a white I will switch back 
to DPaint J just tor a feature that I'm a little bit 
more comfortable in using. Not that it's really any 
easier, or any more powerful, just lhat I'm so 
used 1o It 

Mat: You've already staled your view on the cur- 
rent Amiga situation, but if things change at 
Commodore in the ways you'd like, what kind of 
projects do you see yourself working in? 
Jim: I'M probably do 20,000 Leagues under the 
Sea very soon. 

Mat: Is that in conjunction with anyone? 
Jim: No. Not yet. Probably Disney, When I was Still 
working on ihe CDTV I had talks with people who 
are no longer at Commodore about the funding 
coming Irom them, with very little, if anything from 
Disney - even though it would probably come out 
under the Disney label. 

Mat: Do you have any closing comments that you'd 
like to make? 

Jim: I'm aways impressed with Commodore hard- 
ware and can't wait to see the new machines when 
they finally do hit the market. I'm very excited about 
the Triple A machines. There are a lot ol features 
that I've been looking lor for a long time that are 
incorporated into this new next technology. 
Mat: Thank you very much for your time. l aP 






Amiga graphics are hot stuff. Whether it's using a 
24-bit board to create photographic quality anima- 
tions, or an ordinary 5-bit art package for titling your 
home videos, no other home computer comes close 
in terms of value for money or graphics power. 

Even so, the world is constantly changing and no 
area more quickly so than computer technology. 
When the Amiga was born, PC graphics were posi- 
tively neanderthal by comparison, but of course 
nothing stays the same and the PC market just kept 
growing and growing, with machines improving all 
the time. Wrth the 48« S VGA PCs, the Amiga 
seemed at last to have been defeated (although it 
was still a quarter of the price or less). Then, with 
their usual good timing, Commodore pulled a rabbit 
called AGA out ol the hat, and, yet again, the Amiga 
reigns supreme as the de facto home computer. 

01 course, technology companies nowadays 
must innovate or die and Commodore has an 
almost impeccable record in this regard, with CDTV 
being the Only real fly in Ihe ointment. Still, H you 
want to achieve widespread success, it's no longer 



good enough to build great hardware, you've got to 
have great software and preferably be PC compati- 
ble as well. Commodore's Chief of Engineering is a 
real genius called Lew Eggebrecht, a guy who has 
not only designed some of the hottest Amiga hard- 
ware in his time, but was. actually one of the people 
who designed the original IBM PC. 

The next generation of Amigas look absolutely 
certain to offer Windows NT support, and will 
ofler even greater graphics features than the 
AGA machines. It's guaranteed that Ihe new 
Amiga's palette will be greater than the current 
one, and lhat only seems to leave 24-bit as a 
serious option. 

Whilst such a machine would eventually spell 
doom to all those manufacturers who offer third 
party graphics boards, it would mean that they 
could start work on video effects hardware safe in 
the knowledge that all users have a 24-bit 
machine to work on, As the minimum specifica- 
tion lor Amigas increases, it seems likely that 
we'll be seeing considerably more sophisticated 



software- At the moment full screen motion video 
is only possible with special add-on cards and 
accelerators, but the launch ol CD32 technology 
makes it likely that we'll be moving in new direc- 
tions brought about by the massive storage 
offered by Such devices. Of course we'll also ben- 
efit from the research that brought about the FMV 
card tor the CD32. 

Virtual Reality is a buzzword that just won't go 
away, and I suspect that future generations of the 
Amiga will be at the head of the queue to explore 
this concept in a home environment. Whilst we're 
not yet whizzing around the galaxy getting lost, in 
many ways technology has far exceeded even 
ihe wildest dreams, and your Amiga is right at the 
very forefront of home innovation. /&£

COMPETITION 







COMPETITION 



CU AMIGA 



E 



arlieMhis year, a graphics program from American devetopers, Digiai Creations, stunned the 
Amiga-owning world. Offering incredible graphics power at an affordable price, Brilliance was 
immediately hailed as the most powerful art program for the Amiga by both press and public alike. 
Easy to use, yet oflenng a myriad number of different tools and effects, the program has already racked 
up incredible sales in ihe United States and looks set to do the same over here. 

Among its many features, Brilliance offers support for 24-bit images and the AGA chipset, has more 
fools than any other non-24-bii art package, includes unlimited undos and unlimited picture buffers. 
plus powerful new tweening options for fully automated animation. An ultra-flexible palette and gradi 
ent requester enables the user to define the smoothest colour ranges possible, and the program 
has more drawing modes than any other package currently available. On top of all this, Brilliance 
also offers a unique stencil draw mode for quick and easy definition and its image manipulation 
and image processing is incredibly fast offering a vast repertoire of options and tools. 

No wonder, then, that Brilliance has been hailed as the ultimate paint package, And at only 
£149.95 (based on current exchange rates and a US price of $249) the program represents excep- 
tional value for money, Whats even better news is that, thanks to Digital Creations, we have 20 copies 
to gfveaway. Thai's right, 20 complete copies of the Amiga's premier art package are up for grabs. 

To win a copy, all you have to do is answer the amazingly simple question printed below, and 
then jot your answer down on ihe back of a postcard and send it to: Bloody Brilliance!, CU Amiga, 
EMAP Images, 30-32 Farringdon Lane, London, EC1 R 3AU. Postcards should arrive no later than 28th 
February 19&4, 

1. Brilliance is published by which American-based company? 

A. Digital Creations 

B. Electronic Arts 

C. Microsoft 





Dan Slingsby, Editor of CU 
Amiga, says: 

'You can't wish for a better 

graphics program than 
Digital Creation's Brilliance* 
It's got everything an Amiga 
artist could want, plus more 

besides. For many years, 
DPaint ruled the roost when 
it came to supplying incredi- 
ble graphics power at an 
affordable price, but no 
longer. Brilliance has 
assumed centre stage and is 
now the Amiga's number one 
art package. It's so hot you 
could make a cup of 
tea with it/ 



RULES 1 . The competition is not open to employees 
of Digital Creation or EMAP Images. 2. The closing 
date for entries is February 2flth 1994, 3, The edta's 
decision is final and no correspondence will be entered 
into. 4. Say something nice to someone today

AMIGA SPOTLIGHT ON... 




If you were asked to name one of the UK's most suc- 
cessful software houses, chances are Minds cape 
would be high up on your list. For the last five years, 
the Burgess Hill-based company has been going from 
strength to strength, thanks largely to strict quality 
control and a steady stream of original products. 

Geoff Heath, Mind scape's head honcho, made his 
first forays into the computer games industry in 1982. 
Realising the explosive potential of computer games, 
he left his job in the music industry (where he worked 
with celebs such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney}, 

and took up full-time employment 
with Virgin Mastertronic Seven 
years later, in 1989, Geoff formed 
Mind scape International and the 
rest, as they say, is history. With 
hits ranging from Legend, 
Moonstone and D/Ceneration to 
Knightmare, Captive and the pio- 
neering piano teaching system, 
the Miracle keyboard, Mind scape 
merged with American-based out- 
fit, Software Toolworks, in 1990, 
and have never looked back. 

Since 1989, the number of peo- 
ple working for Mindscape has 




T!»* man Wh» juried « all - 

Mindscape's GeoH Heath slarss 
mnxllly at the earner! Imt- 



grown from two to 80 peo- 
ple and profits have grown 
substantially, this year 
pulling in more than three 
million dollars. Having 
moved to Priority House in 
1992, a superb new pur- 
pose-built complex in 
Burgess Hill, Mindscape 
have combined all its oper- 
ations under one roof, 
including the manufacturing 
and distribution arms of Its 
business. With product 
lines as diverse as 
Speerlbalt 2 on the 
Game boy and Mavis 
Beacon Teaches Typing on 
the PC and Amiga, plus a 
range of educational and 

reference titles, Mindscape now develop for alt the 
main hardware platforms including Nintendo, Sega, 
Commodore and IBM PCs and compatibles. 

From running the company from his dining room table 
fn 1989, Geoff has built Mindscape up into a truly inter- 
national operation with a reputation second to none...

more than a

ago, the Amiga

hit coin-op has 
certainly taken its lime making it to the 
small screen, but from what we've 
seen so far, the long wail is going to be 
more than worthwhile. This platform 
beal "em up has been a hit on every 
games machine its been released on,

cially swanky. EKpecl hi-jinks aplenty

Pierre is a well- 
renowned chef

incredible

problem he has is the ingredients 
often don't want to end up as the 
main course, if that wasn't enough he 
has an arch rival, Le Chel Noir, who 
is intent on ruining Pierre's reputa- 
tion, Set over 48 enormous levels, 
the aim of (he game is lo collect all 
the ingredients Pierre needs for his 
famous dishes and keep Le Chef Noir 
away from his larder. Terrific tun.

breathe underwater or eat its way 
through scenery, Each level is packed lo

THEIR FINEST HOUR 

You don't have to del ye too deeply 
into Mindscape's hack catalogue to 
' nd their best-ever game -they've 
only just released it! The follow-up 
to Tony Crowther's award winning 
Captive game, Liberation is geared 
exclusively towards the CD32, and 
it's about as good as they come. 
Set in the lar future, the sci-fi plol 
'evolves around a government's attempts to frame innocent men for a series 
of gruesome murders, As Trill, the hero from the tirsl Captive game, it's up to 
you id uncover this dastardly plot, set the imprisoned men free and, ulti- 
mately, bring down the corrupt government once and for all 1 . Featuring 
i'ght sourced, texture mapped polygon graphics, digitised speech and CD- 
quality sound effects, Liberation is one of the finest role-playing games ever 
produced and is definitely the benchmark for tutu re CD32 releases. If you 
want to find out more, turn to this month's CD32 Zone and read the Ml 
Review which starts on page $Q. 

BEST PUBLICITY STUNT OF 1993 

We've seen some wacky publicity 
stunts in our time, but Mindscape 
pulled off one of the funniest ear- 
lier this year when they entered 
their new platform star, Alfred 
Chicken, in the Christen urch by- 
election. Dressing up one of their 
product managers in a large lurry 
Alfred coslurne, the most amazing 
thing about the whole affair is that 
Alfred actually attracted tfi real- 
life, honest -to-goodn ess votes 
and managed to force the rather- 
more-serious Rainbow Alliance 
party mto last place!

Commodore's new CD32 

console, With three titles 

already under their belt 

[D/Generation, Overkill and 

the excellent Liberation), 

VI nd scape are gearing up 

to release a steady stream at titles in the new year, including CO versions of

FMV UNIT GOES ON SALE 




■^P he launch of Commodore's Full Motion Video 

(FMV) card for the CD32 marks the start of a new 
I era in home entertainment. Okay, I apologise for 
■f -t> <r I being such a pompous oJd windbag and getting a bit 

carried away with the purple prose bit, but this new add- 
on for the CD32 really is a marvellous bit of kit. and will 
allow CD32 owners access lo a wide range of pop 
videos and learure-iength movies, Although Philips 
managed to beat Commodore to the punch, and began shipping their FMV 

"or CD-i a couple of months ago, it's good to see Commodore getting 
'i on the act almost immediately. The price point, too, is encouraging - 
Silica (081 309 1 1 1 1 ) are quoting a price ot £1 99! 

With the release of the FMV unit, Ihe CD32 is now a complete home 
entertainment system, capable of playing games, audio CDs and block- 
buster movies. This really could be the start of something big - imagine 
buying a single CD containing the Jurassic Park nvovie, computer game 
and soundtrack! Thai's still a long way oft with present technology, but 
with some staggering advances in compression techniques over the last 
'ew years, who knows what the future might hold. 

Commodore UK's joint [Managing Director. David Pieasance, is opti- 
-mstk: about FMV, 1 personally believe that the Video CD markel is sel to 
T'plode into life in the new year, thanks lo fuN motion video. 1 think it's 
going to be much bigger than the games market and will probably act as a 
catalyst of change for the entire entertainment industry.' To back up his 

company's optimism in 
FMV, Commodore are 
planning an advertising 
blitz to coincide with Ihe 
module's launch towards 
the end of December. 
There will also be a special 
demo disc sen) to retail 
outlets which will feature 
video footage of the 
Eu rythmics live in concert 
as well as demos of 
Mirage's Rise Of ihe 
HtfJlwfsandDTD.'s 
Inferno. 'We're going to be 
very bullish about it ail. It's 
a fantastic innovation and 
it's going to revolutionise 
home entertainment,' 

We'll have a full review 
of Commodore's new FMV 
module netl month.

NEW GAMES BUNDLE FOR CD32 ANNOUNCED 




Commodore have just announced a new 
games bundle for Ihe CD32. The new pack 

will still include Diggers and Oscar, but both 
Origin's Wing Commander and FJair's 
Dangerous Streets have been added to the 
line up. Wing Commander probably needs no 
introduction to long-time CU Amiga readers - 
it's a highly polished 3D space combat game 
crammed with a vanety of missions and some 
spectacular 3D graphics. Dangerous Str&els, 
meanwhile, is a new beat 'em tip from 
Newcastle- based Flair, in the mould of 
Str&etfigriter and Mortal Kombat- Again, we'll 
have full reviews of both games in our next 
issue. 




CLASH OF THE CONSOLES 

We've got something rather special lined up tor next month's CD32 Zone as we 
pit Commodore's CD32 againsl the likes of Atari's 64-toil Jaguar and the all- 
singing, all-dancing 3DO games console. Which one wil) win? Find out in thirty... 



SKIDMARKS ON CD 

Just as we were putting this issue to bed, we received a | 
review copy of Acid Software's new game. Skidmarks - 
and it's a belter. Even better, it's going to be available 
for the CD32 in Ihe new year, And to top that excellent 
news, the 
Antipodean soft- 
ware house are 
also going to 
include their excel- 
lent PD releases - 
tn$ectuids 2, 
Defender and 
Zombie Holocaust

CHEAPER CD PRICES? DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT! 



.. ihought CD software was going to lead to cheaper prices, then think 
tain. Although we are seeing some product appear at a budget-busting 
4 99 (thanks to the likes of Krisalis and Team 17), most games publishers 
e adopting £2$. 99 as their favoured price-point, Over the last year, (loppy 
ces have also hovered near the thirty quid mark, and it appears that soft- 
re houses are keen to make this new price stick, even though the 
inufacture of CO discs is considerably cheaper. 

<ere are two main reasons why this should be so: increased development 
sts and a desire by the software houses to lessen the discount offered to 
otesalers. Now, it's understandable when a premium product like 
nxesm comes with a hefty price-tag attached, as Psygnosis have been 
ig on the game for almost two years and incurred considerable costs 
i the way -they've gol to recoup them from somewhere! But when you 
*hat is. in effect, shovelware coming out at the same price, then it's obvi- 



ous that some companies are only after a fast buck and don't really give a 
damn about ripping off the punter. 

Cutting back the margins offered to wholesalers is another reason why games 
are appearing at inflated prices. Traditionally, distributors have been offered a 
discount on new product of approximately 55%. With the advent of CD, some 
publishers have been attempting to claw some of this discount back and 
charge a premium price, Unfortunately, all the poor wholesaler can do is 
either accept ihe new terms or refuse to take the product - not much of a 
choice when you've got the all-importani Christmas selling period in full swing. 
Because the distributor's discount has been markedly reduced - some esti- 
mates put it at as much as 10% - these additional costs are then passed onto 
the retail end Of the chain which results in higher prices all round. 
So. while many people have been arguing that the lack of piracy on CD will 
result In cheaper software, the exact opposite appears to be happening. w

fiovelware this might be. but it's darn goad 
shovelware all the same. Already available 
on the A 1200. Overkill is modelled on the 
wireframe arcade hit of yesteryear, Defender. 
Although the new game has been tarted up with 

upon layer of 
scrolling parallax 
backgrounds and

■olcan pickup 
a number of power- 
jps to increase 
your chances of 
success, she basic 
■^play is almost 
exactly the same 
as the aging coin- 
op classic. 

The idea behind 
Overkill is to drop 
off a team of 
assault marines 

onto a planet's surface in an effort to destroy a 
number of valuable Trifithfum crystal deposits 
which an enemy face is trying to get their hands 
on. Each marine has an explosive charge which 
they can attach to a crystal in order to blow it up. 
Once they've achieved this objective, It's then up 
to you to steer the assault craft back to the waiting 
marine, pick them up and rearm them, and then 
transport them to the rsexl crystal to be disposed 
of. While your men are taking care of the crystals, 
you've got to defend them by blasting any alien 
attack ships out of the stratosphere. This is, of 
course, easier said than done, as the aliens have

The most a nn nvino. thing about the gam e is some ol 
the rather liersame attack waves which speed onto (he

this is a brilliant blast. Toe game's designers have also 
come up with a novel way of representing the number of

ention multimedia to most people and 
they'll either look at you as it you've said 
_ ei dirty word or just fall asleep as you 
speak [which happens a lot to our News Editor, 
Tony Dillon, funnily enough - Ed}. It's not that mul- 
timedia is boring or anything , its just that no one 
really seems to know what it is or what it's sup- 
posed to do. 

for the record, multimedia 15 'the integration of 
graphics, video, sound and tent under ihe control of 
a computer in order to perform a specific task'. I 
know this because it's written in ray computer dictio- 
nary, but it hardly makes the pulse quicken, does it? 
However, where multimedia gets really interest- 
ing is the way in which sound r video, graphics and 
text are combined. Over the next few years, we're 
in (or something of a revolution in the way that 
information is presented, and it's all thanks to our 
good friend multimedia. For instance, instead ol 
pushing around a shopping trolley in a supermarket 
the size of Wembley Stadium, imagine being able 
to browse through a virtual reality shopping: mall via 
your TV, picking out the good& and services you 
need at the click of a button. 







The development of the 
electronic video game has 
been little short of an 
electronics revolution.

the first system for the

Another application could be the interactive 
travel agent where a prospective holiday maker 
slots in a CD disc into their player, selects a choice 
of holiday destinations and settles back to watch 
an audio-visual presentation of each area. There 
could also be a number of more specific text 
menus listing anything from the best local clubs 
: and pubs in which to swing your 
pants to details of where to find a 
ehildminder to take care of ihe kids 
while you have a good time. 

Another area where multimedia 
could make a tug impact is in edu- 
cation. There's nothing more bortng 
than a book full of text, especially if 
the subject's something that's diffi- 
cult to get to grips with in me first 
place. Realising the possibilities 
presented by Commodore's new 
CD32, Optonica have come up with 
a multimedia guide 10 the way 
things work, insight Technology, the 
first in a series of titles, is a fascinat- 
ing title which manages to combine 
video, audio and text to provide a 
truly exciting and informative tech- 
nology reference disc. 

Taking its lead from everyday 
'■A objects, Opionica have set out to 



explain how each object works. 
From guns and video games to 
water-wheels, robots and heli- 
copters, the disc is an intriguing 
look at technology at work. The 
choice of subjects is presented in 
an alphabetical list which can be 
scrolled through until the desired 
option is highlighted. Once you've 
decided on a topic that interests 
you, merely press a button on the 
control pad and the relevant entry 
will be displayed after a few sec- 
onds disc access. 

Each entry consists of descrip- 
tive text, annotated diagrams and! a 
— : number of digitised pictures. There's 
also a 10 second narration accompanying each 
topic with some sequences including some primi- 
tive animations using colour cycling. Although the 
sound quality of the narration is not brilliant, it's 
easy to understand what's being said. My only 
complaint is that there's not enough of it! Picture 
quality is excellent and it's obvious that a great 
deal of care has been taken in the photography 
and subsequent scanning of each object. 

A number of entries are also accompanied by 
video footage, complete with sound. Occupying 
roughly 1/ath ol the screen, these last lor approxi- 
mately 20 to 30 seconds. Although it's nice to 
watch these additional clips, the choice is a little 
inappropriate at times, suggesting that Optonica 
weren't all that fussy in what they decided to 
include. For example, on a section about sub- 
marines, all you get to see are some dials and 
machinery which might be from the engine room or 
bridge of a submarine, but it's difficult to tell. Surely 
some exterior shots of a submarine plumbing the 
ocean depths would have been more appropriate 
in this instance! 

Overall, Optonica's insight Technology'^ an 
interesting addition lo the growing numbers of 
CD32 releases. Although the number ol topics isn't 
vast, there's enough here to stimulate both adults 
and children, and it's the ideal tool for 
learning how everyday objects work.

1994 is on its way, 

and the Amiga 

marches on. First 

Impressions takes 

an early look at four 

of next year's 

releases, and starts 

to wonder if things 

are going to be even 

better in 1994 than 

they were in 1 993. 

ALLO/ 

ALTERNATIVE 

THE GAMEPLAY: Based on tfie 

appalling TV show of the same name 
(which, incidentally, stained my old 
maths teacher as a British airman), 

you play small cafe owner, Rene, in 
occupied France as he plots to hide 
the painting of the fallen Madonna 
with the big boobies, The TV show is 
packed full of all the usual situation 




comedy humour - running jokes, 
speech impediments and plenty of 
'oh crikey' situations, and so is the 
game. A piatfcrm game in essence 
with just a little bit o! problem solving 
thrown in, il looks a lair bit more 
challenging than ether eftorts. 
WHATS NEW: Not a hell ol a lot, 
really, apart from the fact that the 




TJ»Tf 



l> t > : 



items you collect can be used either 
as weapons or bribes, depending on 
who you give them to, Throw a rose 
at a German guard, and he'll col- 
lapse. Throw it at Yvette and shell 
hitch up her skirt, freezing all the 
guards nearty. Whether or nol this 
kind of originality is strictly neces- 
sary, or whether it adds to the game 
remains to be seen. 
BEHIND THE SCENES: The game 
has been coded in-house by the 
same team that have done, well, all 
the recent Alternative games. Such 
as Suburban Commando and 
Hucktebefry Hound. That's it, really. 
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Not too bad, 
as it goes. Although a fair chunk ot 
Alternative's recent licence attempts 
have been a little below par, this one 
looks like it might be the business. 
Although simply presented (and the 
title tune is the moat awful accordian 
tune ever heard), there might just be 
enough of s puzzle element to make 
it addictive. 






THE GAMEPLAY: A graphic adven- 
ture that revolves around the plight 
of an ordinary lad who finds himself 
dragged into another dimension. 
After playing with his Uncle's inven- 
tion, Boris gets thrown into a 
futuristic parallel universe. Once 
there, he becomes involved in a plot 
to bring about the downfall of the 
evil Emperor Neiamisis. Universe

FIRST IMPRESSIONS 




GENESIA 



MINDSCAPE 




THE GAMEPLAY; This is a tough 

one lo describe, Take Sim City, Sim 
Farm and The Sefflers and mix them 
with Populous and youre some- 
where near the mark. Genesis is to 
ail intents and purposes a war game 
from grass foots. Not only do you 
need to take an army and march 
Ihem across Ihe moors lo battle, you 
have to acluafly buiJd a civilisation lor 
them lo defend. Oh yeah, add a bit of 
Civilisation while you're at it. . . 
WHAT'S NEW: The recruitment 
mode. As your settlement grows and 
you till the land, add buildings and try 
to build a working economy so trav- 
ellers through your village may 
decide to settle. If they do, you can 
ihen decide what you actually want 
them lo do, from farming to architec- 
ture (designing and erecting the 
buildings). The entire community can 
be shuffled around into diflereni jobs 



at any point, so it's fortunate you 

have a village populated with such 
multi-talenled people. 
BEHIND THE SCENES: Genesis 
has been brought lo you by those 
lovely French people who make up 
Microids, responsible for possibly the 
worst motorbike racing games ever. 
Let's hope that they do a better job of 
this kind of management game. 
Incidentally, this is their first product 
for Mindscape after making the 
switch (rom Daze Marketing. 
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Genesis 
looks like it's going to be a very com- 
plicated game indeed. With 
hundreds of different statistics lo 
watch, you're going to have your 
work cut out just trying to keep your 
colony running, let alone watch out 
for the opposition. This could be one 
to watch. Look out for the full review 
ne«t issue. 



was originally intended to be the 

sequel to Curse QfEnchantia, bul 
ha$ grown so much during develop- 
ment that it has simply become a 
follow up. 

WHAT'S NEW: A hell of a lot. There 
are some 3D rendered animations 
to keep everything moving along, 
which is fairly unusual in a graphic 
adventure. Even stranger are the 
arcade sequences, such as a full 
Oyfrurr-style car driving section, 

Probabfy the biggest achieve- 
ment is the SPAC 250 colour 
system which allows you to view 
the stunning backdrops in 2S$ 
colours on any machine - including 
non-AGA machines! {Whet - Ed. J 



BEHIND THE SCENES: The game 
has been coded by the same in- 
house team that came up with 
Curse Of Enchantia. and they have 
taken the two years eapenence to 
add reams of texl lo the game lo 
pad out (he storyline. 
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Very good 
The game looks incredible, and 
what we've seen of the design 
shows that it's at least every bit as 
good as Curse Of Enchantia. It's 
nice to see thai not everyone is try- 
ing lo emulate Lucas Arts titles. With 
it's original sections and absolutely 
stunning 25&-colcur emulation, this 
looks like rt could be one of the 
hottest games of next year. 




THE GAME PLAY: Robinson's 
Requiem is what is known as a 
survival simulation. We are talking 
no ordinary adventure here. You are 
government agent Robinson, 
stranded on an alien planet with 
nothing but a small medical kit and a 
chest mounted computer for com- 
pany. From this point, you have to 
escape from the planet, and the only 
way to do that is to stay alive. 
Running over three square miles, 
you have to stay lit and healthy - 
and unharmed if possible. 
WHAT'S NEW: Jus! about every- 
thing! An enormous game all 
displayed in true 3D, using a brand 
new texture mapped polygon 
graphic system, Objects are lit or 
shaded according to distance and 
position, using a garaud shading 
technique similar to that used in the 
PC flight sim Comanche. API 




weather and time sys- 
tems are simulated, as 
are the functions of the 
human body. Wow. 
BEHIND THE SCENES; What else 
would you expect from Silmarils? 
They've taken the Dungeon Master 
style of game as far is it can go with 
Ishar2, so now they're adding that It- 
He bit more freedom. They've been 
working on this one for quite a while, 
coding it in tandem wilh I$har3. 
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: With only 
still screenshots and a rolling demo 
to go on, I am very impressed- The 
amount of effort that has gone into 
just the graphics, with all sprites ren- 
dered in every possible direction in 
3D Studio and 
the texture 
mapped terrain it 
looks fantastic. 
Some of the 
polygon anima- 
tion is 

staggeringly real. 
and the idea of 
such a natural 
and involving 
adventure game 
is making my 
synapses itch, 
Roll on 
February!

Tony Dillon laces 

up his pixie boots. 



EVERYTHING YOU 
KNOW IS WRONG 

It stan lis tfl reason that a 32-eoloiir

must give we I c nm e re I i el le all the non - 
ftGA owners out lb ere, Don I worry guys, 
you're not going lo gel lorptlen in Ibe 
stampede! 



' he King's Guesi senes will 

J always have a special meaning 
for computer games fanatics. 
Widely regarded as the games lhat 
put Sierra on (lie map. the branding 
became so popular that it paved the 
way lor other popular Sierra series 
such as Space Quest and Police 
Ouesi When il comes down lo it, 
though, nothing can beat a good 
Kings Ouesnitie. That probably 
explains why there was such wailing 
and gnashing of teeth when Sierra 
linally announced lhat they had no 
plans to release an Amiga version of 
King's Quest VI. 

From that point, the story in basic 
lorm goes something like this: 
Charles Cecil, bespectacled boss ol 
Revolution Software called Sierra 






E»ery lime you do sometnirvg right yQv hea* a 
hws*su.rtng >lng". 




and said: 'We'll do 
Ihe Amiga conver- 
sion lor you.' 'Oh. 
all right, replied 
Sierra. West time 
you read that 
development 
nouses are 'in 
nogotiation' or are 
'currently speak- 
ing to. you'll know 
it's all stuff and 
nonsense. 
Anyway, from thai point on. Sierra 
supplied Revolution with ihe source 
script for the game, and then it was 
down to coder Jeremy Sail is to piece 
the rest of the game together 

Note I said source script, noi 
source cod«. Jeremy, who is new to 
the world ol com- 
puter games, having 
speni his career so 
far working in the 
aircraft industry (he 
wouldn't be more 
£ specie, so he prob- 
2 ably wasn't dorng 
anything exciting like 
Hying an MS), had 
lo come up with a 
complete frame lor 
* the game, and then 
feed this script in. which (ells the pro- 
gram what to do in specific 
situations. In a lot 01 ways, it's 
exactly the same as a text adventure. 
The only difference here is that we 
are also controlling the animations.' 
explained Jez in his usual, succinci 
way. 

In many places, the conversion is 
nothing more than a straight port. 
The scnpl itself is text-based, and 
can be added to any conlrol routine, 
and all graphics come supplied. Why 
is it taking so long lo actually convert 
it then? It seems the problems come 
from the graphics themselves. To 
begin with, everything is being 

Maze-like paiha only lead in fighl directions, 



% 



On each ol the Island* your ■In* "* 1 <" 9** 
Ihtoucfh tN>Saatle gates. 

scanned down to 32-colour mode, 
and with the backdroos and sprites 
using separate palettes, this is caus- 
ing merry hell for all involved. As a 
result, most of the animal ion 
senuences have been stripped to 
their basic minimgms. A winged man 
who originally had 13 frames of ani- 
mation, now runs quite smoothly wilt" 
only six. for example. Where the orig- 
inal had frames lhat had the 
character scratching his head, or 
looking around, the Amiga animation 
only has him flying, looking dead 
ahead 

There are all sorts of problems 
encountered when converting the 
graphics across, All the short spot 
anima!ions have to be recolouted by 
hand - when your character shakes 
hands with another, for example. At. 
the point where the two sprites meet 
both are removed I rem ihe screen 
and a small animated sequence ol 
the two of them shaking hands is 
played. AN ihese add up to a huge 
number ol sprites, and reco louring is 
a time-consuming job. 

At Ihe end of Ihe day. though, the 
game looks stunning. Anyone who 
has played Ihe PC version will 
already know what a stunning advw 
ture it is, and il these screenshots 
are anything to go by. the Amiga vt> 
sion will be jusl as good. Look out to 
a full review next month. -

Roll up, roll up for all the fun of the fair 
and a course in business management 
thrown in for good measure. Tony Dillon 
goes for a roller-coaster ride on 
Bullfrog's latest simulation..* 





fbft 



ave k id<*y rldA, dcin'1 VW< 




IN THE BEGINNING 

K$ 1983 and a slruggling young games 
designer has just released his first com- 
mercial computer game, The 
Entrepreneur. Unfortunately, the market 
for business management simulations Is 
not a big one, arid the title flops badly. 

Ten years later and that self-same 
games designer, Peler Molyneux H is 
head honcho at one of the world's 
premier games development teams, 
Bullfrog. Responsible tor coding such 
blockbuster games as Populous and 
Syndicate, Pete can now afford to 
have a chuckle about his' early efforts 
to crack the big time of borne com- 
puter entertainment. 

■It was a frustrating lime,' admits 
Pete. 'I'd come up v/flh what I thought 
was a really interesting business man- 
agement sim andine fjame was met 
MJtb complete indifference/ 

Over the years, Pete found hi ro- 
se II corning bach again and again to 
• hjs firpt commercial effort, constantly 
mulling over where he went wrong 

! mi n king of ways to frnprcve-the 
design, 'I kept wonde^r.ghow we 
could improve.^, build on it so it 
would be a more attractive game.' 

Finally, after years o f deliberation, 
Pete hit or the idea of adapting The 
Entrepreneurs a theme park setting. 
Running a theniafiark seemed to be 
the ideal solution- It was then I 



realised that a simula- 
tion of a theme park is 
an incredibly fun thing 
to do. There are mil- 
lions of things you can 
do with it. Obviously 
we've gone more for 
the simulation than the 
business side, but 
underneath it all there's a really firm 
business simulation,' 

Intrigued? You should be. Theme 
Park is shaping up to be the new 
Populous. If you're wondenng what 
it's alt about [as if yau cant already 
guess), let Pete liil you in on the 
background' The bottom lint* is you 
get to design and run your own 
theme park. That is what the game is 
all about. Your great aunt or some- 
one has left you this great sum of 
money, on the provision that you use 
it to create a theme park empire.' : ; 




When setting up a park you can lay 
down paths, buy rides and shops : even 
trees and lakes. You set it out how you 
like, and then you open your park. The 
public will either love it or hale it- 
It doesn't stop there, though. 
That's where Ihe simulation really 
start to kick in. Ail toe little people 
who enter the park - and there are 



mm 



ON 



As you can see from the shots on 
this page, a lot of lime has been 
spent making Theme Park look super 
slick. Not as much time, however, as 
has gone into the design 'Once 
you've got your piece of land, which 
you've rented off the government, 
you can then start to set about build- 
ing your theme park,' explains Pete. 

■f 



hundreds and hundreds of them - 
get hungry or thirsty, and they all 
have preferences tor certain rides. 
As your theme park develops, it gets 
a reputation. Say you have a park 
that has a lot of rides that break 
down, or it has a lot ol litter, it will get 
a reputation for being a 'bad boys' 
theme park, so the quality of the peo- 
ple that are attracted to it will change, 
Initially you'll notice these happy fam- 
ilies coming to the park, but as Ihe 
game goes on. thugs start coming in 
and beating up your entertainers. 
You have to lind me ideal theme park 
thai suits the average family, the £.2 
children family. 

As always. Bullfrog are trying 
something new. The key thing we've 
gone for is to make it fun, and every- 
thing understandable. If you're not 
making any money, then there's a 
really good reason, Your bank man- 
ager will come up and start telling 
you off, but at least you'll know why. 
That's the difference between one of 
our games and one of M axis' games. 
Thej? try to go for the ultimate accu- 
rate simulation, and sometimes it's 
not as fun as it should be. Wa have 
thai accurate simulation in there, but 
we try to make the game as fun as 
possible, Alter all, it is a game. Were 
not doing it to win any awards tor 
simulation of the year, or whatever. 
We just want to write a good game ' 
Definitely one to watch, methinks,^

THE NEW STANDARD IN AMIGA PAINT 

AND ANIMATION IN MILLIONS OF 

COLOURS. 

Brilliance is now - leaving DPamt trailing in its 

wake - the best art package available for the 

Amiga:, It's very hard to express why I'm so taken 

by Brilliance, there's just a feeling of 'Tightness" 

about the way it works." 

CU Amiga, 

October 1993 (UK) 

''Brilliance is user friendly, doing an excellent job 

with nearly every function and Option that it 

offers, and the interface is well planned and highly 

functional." 

Amiga World, 

December 1993 (USA] 

"The program is so fast and flexible that it makes 

its Amiga predecessors feel like the old Doodle! 

program on the Commodore 64 Nothing out 

there can match its feature set, and it's the one 

paint program I've used that's so fast that it never 

gets in the way of your creativity." 

Amiga Computing, 

October 1993 (UK) 

"!t is solid as. a rock. Never have I known a first ver- 
sion of any program stand up like this or be so 
perfectly polished." 
Amiga Shopper 
December 1993 (UK) 

"It took a while, but DeluxeFaint IV has finally met 

its match. If you're looking for the best AGA paint 

program on the Amiga, look no further than 

Brilliance." 
Amazing Computing, 
November 1993 {USA) 

"After using Brilliance for just a couple of days, I'm 
hooked. It is the only package to be released for 
the Amiga which can rival Delu^ePaint for anima- 
tion capabilities, and it is a class act," 
Amiga Down Under, 
Nov/Dec 1993 (New Zealand) 

"Excellent! Brilliance is loaded with useful drawing 

Mtd animation features, but it's not just the sheer 

number of tools on offer that impresses. Two 

other big points arise. First, the pro-gram is very 

*y to use, thanks to its intuitive, flexible and well 

hou(]ht out panel system. The second majoi f.-it 

T tor is Brilliance's speed. Even in HAM-8 mode, 

everything zips along beautifully quickly."

GAME REVIEW 




Lure of the Tern 
ing a realistic a 
Beneath A Stee 
tie bit furthe 






In a gaming universe where many 
genres have gone juS-t about as 
far as they feasibly can with the 
technology they have, it's rare to find 
a Held lhal keeps growing and grow- 
ing. Flight simulations are taking 
small steps all the lime, as are plat- 
lorm lilies and even the odd shoot 
'em up. but nowhere is as much 
energy and excitement being, Ihrown 
about as the graphic adventure mar- 
ket. It's hard to guess what makes 
them so playable and so popular: the 
graphics? The complexity of the puz- 
zles? The number of icons you have 
to play with? Whatever it is, no-one 
can deny that there's nothing like a 
good graphic adventure to stop you 
from actually interacting wilh the rest 
of Ihe human race for a week or two. 
Possibly one of the most important 
advances for I he graphic adventure 
was Revolution's Lure of the 
Temptress. A challenging and involv- 
ing game, it's strongest feature was 
the implementation of the (then) new 
Virtual Theatre game system. A vir- 
tual play tries to create a realistic 
backdrop to a game, where locations 
connect sensibly and everything is 
believable- Thai is not its strong 
point, though. 

The selling point comes from the 
characters in the game. In a virtual 
play, everyone has something to do. 
They live somewhere, they go to 
work, or stop. They interact with

tasks they would normally do in a

day, talk lo other people, not taik to 
ihe rest, have arguments or friendly 
conversation? and generally live out 
a day to day existence. It's quite 
something in practice, as you no 
longer feel you are playing a game 
where the world revolves around 
you. A blow tor the old ego, maybe, 
but infinrlely more realistic, arid by 
extension, more involving. 

VIRTUALLY AN 
OUTLAW 

The Virtual Theatre system has 
been dramatically updated for 
Beneath A. Sleet Sky, Lhe seoond 
outing for Virgin Games and the 
results are outstanding to say the 
least, in case you aren't familiar, 
the game tells the slOry of a young 
man, orphaned and abandoned out- 
side a giant metropolis, and brought 
up by a group ol savages living in 
an area of desolation known as The 
Gap. All is well until one day secu- 
rity officers come from the city to 
take him back. The helicopter they 
are travelling in crashes, and he

AH convtFMlhsn it shown a* 1**1. 

is only l he beginning. 

You are this man, lost in a Blade 
Rvrtfim background, with security 
hunting high and low lor you. You 
have no money, no tools and no 
knowledge of whal you have |o do, 
apart from the fact that you have to 
gel out of the city and back to The 
Gap as quickly as possible. The only 
real problem there is that you - for 
some unknown reason - have 
become enemy number one, 

So we roll into the kind ol adven- 
ture I really like to play. The kind of 
game where you have na idea what 
you are meanj to do, and just hope 
you are performing the right moves 
to make l he story unfold properly. As 
in good thrillers, you are kept guess- 
ing right to the end, gradually being 
fed small pieces o( information as 
you go along. For example, at the 
start ol the game you are mistaken 
for a guy called Overmans. Who is 
he? Why do the police so badly want 
to catch him? All these questions, 
and many more, will be answered at 
the end of the game. 



BOOK MOW 




YOU'RE NOT ALONE 

Life would be really tough if you 
were left abandoned on your own. 
ThankMly you aren't. Hidden in one 
ot the pockets of your rather snazzy 
Ministry-style coat is a circuit board 
which holds the personality and 
brain of your lifetime companion, a 
droid called Joey. Joey lost his robot 
shell in the crash, but luckily you 
had enough presence of mind to 
take his controlling board. Once you 
rind a shell lor him, you can get him 
on his feet /tracks .'Wheels /whatever 
and then get him to help you out 
wi|h some of the trickier puzzles in 
the game. Watch out, though, as 
Joey has a very strong personality 
of his own, which will conflict with 
yours occasionally, 

You may wonder how it adds to 
the game, If you've ever played 
Planetfaltor Slationfafl and are famil- 
iar with Floyd the Droid, then you'll 
know just how humorous a conversa- 
tional robot can be. A tin can with 
feelings paves the way for plenty of 
moments that, while not exactly gut- 
busting, should bring a smile to 
anyone's face. 

The whole game is darkly funny, 
if you can laugh at a fugitive from 
I he law, that is. All the way through, 
ju si like Day of ihe Tentacle, there 
are set pieces that happen that 
really draw you inlo the game. At 
one point you need to get Joey to 
jump start another roboi. He gears 
up to do ihis, but asks you to look 
away as he finds it embarrassing. A 
probe then extends (rem the top of 
his head, and thrusts in and out of 
what can only be described as the 
other robot's posterior until the other 
robot starts moving. It has to be 
seen to be fuliy appreciated, believe 
me. 

The oiher key to the game's 
charm is the variety of characters 
you can meet. Many are based on 
people known to Revolution, 
although I wouldn't like to name any 
names. Hobbins is a stereotypical 
caretaker, happy to be left tinkenng 
but will kick up a slink if you so much 
as took at a piece of machinery in 
the wrong way. Lamb is the boss of 
the building, and throws his weight . 
around whenever he gets the 
chance. You have two police desk- 
jockeys, apathetic in the extreme 
and bureaucratic to the point where 



COMIC CRAZY

Dave Gibbons Is one ot ihe Imesl comic artisls in ihe 
world. The? will also be fairly entiled la know thai, not 
only did Dave contribute quite a lot 10 the graphics In Ihe

produced a lull-colour, elghl-page comic explaining the

he IrcDpler goes into a spin aver Ihe city, which is where

GAME REVIEW 





One 111 i nrj thai wil I su rp rise a lot rj| people abaul this 
□a me is the amou n| rjl wtiil: I will term a du 1 1 content ' . 
Where iilrier graphic sdvenlures rely no slapstick and 
generous lollops Of (tie Simpler brands nl US humour 
to get people laughing, Beneath A Steel Sky cnnlains 
some bad language, huge amounts dI wil, satire, sar- 
(ism and a more than lair smattering nl double 
enlendres. There are also one or two gory moments to 
he seen: when a guard gets shot in two by a laser can- 
non his legs drop to the floor, and bis upper torso 
slides along Ihe ground, steaming slightly, Yuck! 



they actually have to do Some work. 
These and many others are just wait- 
ing to help you out, slow you down or 
mow you down, depending on how 
you deal wilh therm. 

Of course, if you're going to have 
that many puzzles, then you need a 
fairly large environment to- put them 
all in, and Beneath A Steel Sky is 
huge. With almost a hundred differ- 
ent screens, most of which you 
return to more than once, there sure 
is a hell of a lot to be done, Unlike 
certain other games, SteefSky 



doesn't have you wandering through 
dozens of screens doing nothing. 
There is generally at least one puzzle 
on every screen, and ihe game is 
designee so that it is almost impossi- 
ble to die or fail. The puzzles need to 
be completed in order, as you usually 
carVl progress very far if you miss 
something. This means you won't 
end up on the final section and dis- 
cover that the laser welder you didn't 
think you needed Ihirty screens ago 
is actually very important. If you've 
missed something, chances are it's 



only a couple of 
screens away. 
Most of the 
puzzles are 
termed from the 
phrase 'Use 
[name] on 
[name]'. This 
might sound a 
little simple, but 
thanks to puz- 
zles being 
nrtulti- layered, 
and the ability to 
use the same object more than once, 
you can have a hard time just figur- 
ing out what to use. 

PICK UP JOINT 

The control method in Steer 1 Sky is 

so simple that Revolution can finally 
lay claim to having created the ulti- 
mate in intuitive control methods. 
The left mouse button selects an 
object to look at, and the right 
mouse button selects an object to 
use. To look at a door, you click with 
the left, and to open it you click with 
the right. You don't need to tell the 
program that you wanl to open it - it 
knows that the only thing you can 
really do with a door when you want 
to go through is open il. In much the 
same way that the only thing you 
can do with a closed window is look 
through it. I'n places where some- 
thing has no real use, the maFrt 
character will pick it up and stuff it in 
his coat. From this point, moving the 
mouse to the top of the screen wil 
call up the inventory, and the 
same mouse controls apply, 
although using. an object 
from the inventory will 
require you selecting some- 
thing to use it on. What could 
be simpler? 

The graphics in the game 
are simply stunning There is 
no other way to describe 
them. Hand-painted back- 
drops, scanned in and retouched, 
stop it from looking like a run-of-the- 
mill adventure, and the use of 




exceptional detail make the small- 
est, dullest rooms interesting to 
search. Small ceiling-fans rotate 
and, in the far distance, cars travel 
along the highways. 

Every character has a whole 
range of moves and expressions, 
which along with the personality 
generated through conversation, 
gives them depth and makes them 
all the more believable. 

So what's it actually like to play? 
A lot of lun, to be honest, The puz- 
zles are logical without being too 
obvious, and the control method 
means that you can get into it imme- 
diately. There is enough challenge 
to keep even the most ardent 
adventurer going, while beginners 
will work through it without straining 
too hard, There is a really nice 
learning curve to the game making it 
taxing without being frustrating. 

There are always enough clues 
to help you figure out problems, but 
that isn't to say the game is easy. 
After a few hours play I had man- 
aged to work through the first sixth 
of the game, but the speed I was 
progressing was definitely slowing 
towards the end. No doubt by the 
time this review is printed, I will 
have finished Ihe game, but only 
because it's so much fun to play thai 
I can't think of playing anything else 
in its field. 

B&n&alh A Steet Sky also fea- 
tures one important aspect that I 
find sadly lacking in a lol of adven- 
tures. It's extremely addictive. You 
always want to know what someone 
will say to you next, or whal the nexl 
problem is going to be. 

A genuinely enjoyable experi- 
ence, and one where there are so 
many different ways to play it, I can 
definitely see myself returning to this 
one after I've completed it, just to 
find gut what I've missed. Simply 
one of the best adventures ever 
released on the Amiga. ^

GAME REVIEW 



CI AMIGA 




BRIAN THE LION 

PSYGNOSIS OUT JANUARY £39.99 

have to say. I've been quile 
excited about this one for quite 
a while, it*; about :ime aoOTQ- 
I one sat up and proved that '.he 
Amiga is more Chan a match lor 
the consoles ot the world, and this 
is the lilie that beats them at iheir 
own game. Brian the- Lion is a 
platform game like no other on the 
Amiga, it would honestly look 
more ai home on a Super 
Brian io«s to wBw his itHti on ma sieeva. JuM Ni ntendo , thanks to some revolu- 
toon ?1 mat expression. tionary new graphic techniques. 

Whether or not that's a good thing is down to your own personal prefer- 
ence, but the facts are there to see, Custom chips or not, (he Amiga can 
do anything the SNES can do and. in a lot of cases here, do it far better, 

Like all platform games, the aim is to get from one end to the other. I could 
pad out a bil here and give you the plot, bvi you've heard ii all before. The key 
thing to note is that your only aim is to get to (he find of each level, Vou can 
collect power-ups and jewels if you want to, bu> you don't actually have to. 

Visually, the game is quite something. Although in a still screens hot. i\ 
fooks like most other cute plalfc-rmers, you notice the amount of effort thai s 
gone in when you see the thing moving. Brian has Over a hundred frames of 
animation to himself, including things like looking up with a daunted look on 
his face when he reaches a clifr he can't jump up, and a wonderful roar 
facility. HoWing down the fire button makes him breathe in, and releasing it 
lets out a roar. The longer he breathes, the stronger me shout, The amus- 
ing thing is. il he lets ou! a realty loud roar, he startles himself and stands 
their quivering for a moment 

Very playable and very colourful. Briar? is probably the best-wntten plat- 
form game ever. With more 
tricks and stunts than most 
similar games, it's the kind 
of game you must have in 
your collection, even if it's 
just to annoy your console- ^H 

owning friends.

MINDSCAPE OUT NOW £35.99 





^■^ Yes, landscape are taking

Tnat green sparklv ray (jives jfOV t special 
power, it'll ft** il away, too, 

The game p'ays like a cross between Lemmings and.lWcifpn, Your little Tiny 
has four different incamai ens. One allows him lo shoot fireballs, one gives him 
SpWeraian4ike sw+ng>ng abW**-we lels-hin* tweaine undsr water" and the 
last allow* frim to eat" through the scenery. Each level is packed lull erf traps 
and anenny sprites, and you havn to use a variety <jt skills to gat through. 
1 really am enjoying this. one. fl"s beautifully animated, wonderfully pre- 
sented and quite adrflettve. The movement ot the characters is smooth and 
effective, with Dag* of personality. The'e am even a couple: o! flasny effects, 
fifiethe screen swirl.ng around and fading into nothing when you complete a 
level- The qnly downside is that-SCime people might find it a little slow. IL takes 

— — at least a second to get moving, and 
another second if you want to stop. 
T here's a bit ot a lag en the joystick 
oofllrof, which- means you havw to be 
thinking ahead of yourserf. After a cou- 
ple of goes, though, the controls 
become so instinctive that it slops bang 
a handicap and the game becomes 
really enjoyable.

GAME REVIEW 



War has never been 

so much fun, 3 or so 

the song goes. Jon 

Sloan dons fatigues 

to join the chorus 

line for Virgin's 

latest bloodfest.

America n dictator. 

Tour insertion team starts each sce- 
nario with an tjn limited supply of bullets 
but, depending on the plot, there's the 
opportunity to pickup much bigger guns! 
WENABES- Your basic -shred -the- 
enemy-with small-bits- of-shrapnel 
devices. Their range is limited, but they 
can be thrown aver obstacles to hit their 
targets. Very useful lor a sneak attack. 
ROCKETS- These bazooka shells are 
great for long tango attacks. Best used 
against buildings or enemy soldiers simi- 
larly equipped. A great tactic is to dash 
out Irnm (over, let one oil, the n dash 
back under cover In watch the fireworks 
Irnm a sale distance. 
MEAT SEEKERS- More fang range devas- 
tation can he achieved with these than 
almost any other weapon. Brilliant 
against enemy vehicles. 
Jf£F-Fast manoeuvre We and fun. Us*

board cannon you can shoot the other 
guys or. better yet. just run them down. 
Remember kids - don't try this in daddy's 
Range Rover! 

SKIBOO- One snowy scenario sees the 
team stuck in a maie-iike forest with the 
only way out over a series ol fee ramps. 
Evil Xnieual lookout! 
MM- Tough hut not indestructible. 
Some enemy bunkers are so armour 
plated that only a shell deliverer) from 
ana of these will penetrate it. The sounds 
of soldiers squished beneath the tracks 
are so sick. 

HELICOPTER- tf you leei you're above all 
this violence, you can he, literally, with 
the 'copter. Flying above the action 
means you can strale the ground yet be 
Immune to most returning lire, except the 
rockets and heat seekers. 




I can't camouflage my feelings 
about this game. I've just gotta 
. shoot my mouth off. Cannon 
Fodd&r is the best thing since gun- 
powder. It's bloody brilliant If e better 
than sex. But, that's enough adula- 
tion (And had war pairs - Ed.} for 
now. So. what's it about? Simply put: 
shooting, shooting, more shooting 
and. just tor a change, a few explo- 
sions. That's It. No fancy storylines. 
No deep and meaningful scenarios. 
Just grab a handful ol recruits, drop 
then in a war zone and then blast 
everything in sight,

You can call up a map al any time. It's not 
terrilically detailed, but it does give you some 
idea where the huts and bunkers are. 



WATCHERS 

Weighing in at three disks, 
Cannon Fodder is a hefty 
game indeed. There are 2d 
missions awaiting your sol- 
diers, each with between one 
and six phases. In total you'll 
have to wasK your way

they'll have to rescue hostages, pro- 
tect civilians and kidnap opposing 
soldiers. When you realise that one 
stray bullet, from either side, hitting a 
civilian is all it takes to lose the phase, 
you'll see just how tough the game is, 
To crank up the challenge element 
you only have 1 5 raw recruits per mis- 
sion. And. as you're guaranteed to 
lose a good number the tirst time you 
try the mission, even experienced 
players are going to take a couple of 
weeks to complete the game. Believe 
me, by the time you reach the seventh 
■mission you'll be cursing your lack ol 
mouse control. I played it with a 
40CDPI mouse and still got wasted! 
Speaking of controls, even a

Bullets are unlimited but there's also a 
fixed amount of secondary weapons. 
Firing ihem is easy too. Right click on 
the target and then left click at the 
same time to release one. It's tempt- 
ing to let rip with all your weapons 
early on, but thai would be a waste, 
And some missions, need you to care- 
fully control your resources. 

For instance, one objective could 
be that you have to blow up all the 
enemy's huts. This is not possible with 
bullets alone. 

GORE BilMEY! 

You don't get to choose the size of 
your squad in each phase, that's 
done automatically. It's not a problem 
though 'cos the Sens: boys have

GAME REVIEW 



CU AMIGA 







pitched the difficulty curve just right 
You'll have just enough mem to com- 
plete that part, even if you lose a 
couple. But its best not to sacnlice 
troops needlessly as they increase in 
rank with each successful mission. 

CRIMSON ARC 

From the very first moment you load 
Cannon Fodder you know that ycu're

Same icons are just lying around, olhers are hidden

in for a treat. The intra- music and 
slideshow is one ol the best I've seen. 
Normally I skip through intros. But. 
Sensi's version of "War... has never 
been so much tun' captivated me - 
it's a brilliant, toe-tapping tune. The 
attention to sonic detail has been car- 
ried over into the main game with 
both music and sound effects per- 
fectly scored. It's the simple touches, 

The e ne my c an be very sin p id . Some 
bazooka man hide behind rocks and other 
scenery. As they fire as soon as they see

The jungle levels are a minefield of trip 
wires and sharp spikes. Watch where you

up the hum! 

like the way that sounds gel louder 
the closer you are to the source, that 
make i(. On the graphic front there's 
no innovation but plnnty of good solid 
Amiga art. There's loads of variety in 
the landscape types - jungle, ice, 
desert, moors and underground cav- 
erns - and the sprites' animation is 
very detailed considering how small 
they are. I love this game, ft has its 
faults, like Ihe lack of order 
options. But on the whole 
it's a very playable, veiny 
tough shoot em up. Be 
warned though, you'll need 
to have your sick sense of 
humour head on to enjoy 
Ihe puns. Many develop- 
ment teams, if they're lucky, 
go Ihrough a golden phase 
and the Sens! boys are right 
in (he middle of theirs just now. Can 
they do no wrong? Nol as far as 



Cannon Fodder goes anyway.

GAME REVIEW 



CU AMIGA 



V 




The problem with introducing 
sequels to games is thai peo- 
ple tend lo expect parr 2 lo be 
better lhar the original. I mean, with 
all the lessons of ihe last game 
learnt, you'd think that some 
improvements should be made to Ihe 
game-play, graphics* sound et at. But 
with a ganne as good as Zoo! you ve 
got a pretty tough act lo follow. So 
you'd be lucky to reach the lofty 
heights scaled by that top platformer. 
Unfortunately, Gremlin seem to have 
fallen well short ol that peak. 

SEQUEL MANIA 

This sequel once more stars Zool, 
the Ninja from me Nth Dimension; 
only ihis time he's brought along 
Zooz, a female Ninja. The idea's just 
the same as the original with you 
{playing Zool or Zooz) leaping about 
sis huge levels in an attempt to catch 
up with Mental Block, an aganl of the 
Below: Level two and Zoafs until Bilberry 
Hill. Apart Ira m psychotic snake -like torches 
water out 1n r ihe Irumy Annlepoi$« lamps.

The ninja that doesn't resemble an ant is 
back. And this time he's brought a 
Jon Sloan joins the party. 




II wciilrii'l be a platform game without hidden 

rooms. Blow certain block's away and you'll 

discover roams chock lull al Chupa C inns' 

lollys and logos. 

mysterious Krool who's inient on 

wrecking the equilibrium of the Nth 

Dimension. Yes, I know it's a load of 

pooh but somebody's got to wrile that 

kind of thing. Anyway, each level has 

its own specific theme ranging from 

Swan Lake through Bui berry Hill to 

The Crazy 

House. So, with 

each level you 

get a whole new 

graphic set and 

a completely 

different group 

ot baddies, 

each one tied 

in with the 

background 

graphics. For 

instance, 

Bulberry Hill 

is populated 

by flying light 

bulbs and light beam 
shooting desk (amps 
whilst Swan Lake is full of dive 
bombing birds and aggressive 
half -hatched chicks. It's a great 
way of keeping your interest 
peaked as each nastie demands a 
different means of attack and 
defence. It's no good blasting your 
way through the level bouncing on 
every enemy you meet as Zodt 
will quickly run oul Of energy 
(mind you it is good fun!).

mtitt gets to play a role m Mental Block's 
downfall Of starring in his own sob-game. To 
enter it you need to collect three Zoon tokens 
which are hidden about each level. Grab enough and. at ihe ens} ot that section, 
you'll be toomed oft to loon's game, No points lor innovation I'm atraidas it's 
simply another Brea tout done. Guide toon lett and right to keep a _^ 

bait bouncing up destroying the coloured Mocks above him, 
Every now and then a bonus tails to Site lloor which 
loon can collect to help ZoolfZooi in 
the next level.

Expectations were running high in 
the office when we received this. 



In fact we bad lo 

rght over who would 
get the review. Sadly, 
/after loading it up, I 
wished I'd lost that 
scrap. The whole 
hing screams of 
being rushed oul 
in time for Christmas. 
he graphic? some- 
thing that Zool 1 was highly praised 
lor - seem dull and lifeless by com- 
parison, it's as though they were 
sketched by an art expert only to be 
coloured in by a ten-year-old with Jess 
than a basic grasp of composition. 
The gameplay too, whilst competent 
lacks even a 1 0th of ihe sparkle that 
made the original so addictive. 
Possibly the only redeeming feature 
that could pull this game tram the. 
murky depths of mediocrity is the 
music. There's an eclectic range of 
tunes available - listen out for the 
mellow tones on level two. Overall, 
Zoo! 2 is a lei down. The best that can 
be said is that it's a stunningly aver- 
age platformer. 'S&

MAGIC BOY 

EMPIRE SOFTWARE OUT NOW £25.99 

Franlic, frustrating and tun are 
three words I could use to 
describe Magic Boy, Empire's 
new platform puzzler. 

The aim of the game is to help 
Hewlett the wizard's apprentice 
recapture the magical creatures he's 
accidentally released. The monsters 
have escaped into four different 
worlds: Sand Land. Wet Wortd, 
Plastic Place and Future Zone. As 
each wortd has eight levels and you 
visit them twice, Hewlett's going to 

have his Work CUt OUt Capturing the Snakes gs lore! Gel your timing right and yau 

escapees i n the required time li m il could ''" > roiJ|r tkB o "" * l1h lMds - nrnnHiera. The 
To aid him in his efforts he has a %££%££" a ' th * "" ,imt the blflBer 
magic wand and bag. He can lap the creatures with a magicaJ bolt and, while 
they're stunned, stuff (hem into the bag. Pulling down on the joystick at this point 
will send them tumbling back lo their pens at the bottom of the screen. 

It's a bright and colourful game with cartoon-like characters and a chirpy, 
though eventually grating, tune. The gameplay is tough with the devious level 
design making for some frustrating aciion. Some levels have been constructed 
so thai there's only one way to complete them so, should you take a wrong 
route on one, you'll be unable to Complete it. Although you can restart it you do 
lose your bonuses which is irritating. On the whole it's been well coded although 
Hewlett himself moves like he's in treacle. 

If you've a high tolerance level and aren't prone to smashing your Amiga 
every time you lose your rag you'll be okay with this game. Those less evenly 
lempered will find it induces uncontrollable rages - as the games room at 
CU Towers can testify. It's hard but fun.

GAME REVIEW 




'he game that was once hailed as the Amiga's 
Hreetfighter 2 beater has returned in its second 
icarnation. Tony-Dillon steps back into the ring. 








ake no bones about it, Body 
Blows was a damn good 
game. Slreetttghter 2 may 
have had the hype, but Body Blows 
was the game designed for the 
Amiga. Naturally it sold in ship loads, 
and deservedly so, as well as slam- 
ming Team 17'8 reputalion even 
higher up the ladder. This Christmas, 
the story continues with Body Blows 
Galactic- not so much a sequel, 
more a new version of the original. 

NOTHING CHANGES 

Essentially only Ihe graphics have 
changed- "Hie game is exactly the 
same in most respects, other than 
ihe fact that this has 1 1 new charac- 
ters, ail with new moves and special 
abilities, The basis of the game is 
much [he same, with you fighting 
your way through 1 2 opponents, to 
receive massive congratulations at 
the end. We've all seen beat 'em 
tips, anO we all know h wwk. 

After Streetfightet 2 and Body Blows, 
you could be forgiven lor thinking 



that they've gone as tar as they can- 
Unfortunately, you'd be right. Body 
Blows Galactic is a step in the 
wrong direction. 

The first big problem is the list oi 
opponents. When you are fighting 
against human (or at least 
humanoidt) opponents, you can feel 
that you are attacking someone. 
There is some gratification to be had 
from kicking someone in the 
teeth/chest groin, and this makes the 
game ajl the more exciting, When 
you are fighting against a gho&l. a 
robot or some strange creature made 



Team 17 have seen fit to relaass two differ- 
ent versions al Body Blows Galactic, One is 

tor AGA machines, and makes use nt the 
machine's 256- colour Capability. The other 
is lor n on -AGA, and features standard 3? 
colour mode graphics. 

The interesting thing is that the 32- 
colour version actually runs a lair bit taster 
than thr- AGA one, and II is also marginally 
more playablef 



gp ol cones, the game 
style instantly toses all 
Character. There is little 
enjoyment to be gained 
by kicking a robot in the 
chest. After all, robots 
can't feel pain, 



JUNIOR 

Junior is one big, bad 
dude and no mistake. 
Training in the art of Jawa 
La, which lilera Lfy trans- 
lates as' hilyov with my 
spinning arm', Junior has 
real speed on his side. 
Thai plus a lew bio lie 
implants, but wewan'l 
dwell unloose. His Blitz 
move is pretty special, 
lashing ant with 4D 
punches at ante. 



MISSED ME! 

The next problem comes 
with the payability itself, I 
lound the collision detec- 
tion exlremefy frustrating. 
Half the t<me you can hit 
or be hi! by something that, by 
rights, you shouldn't be able to 
reach, t also found if galling that, 
aithough half of Ihe moves involve 
leaping in the air. it is far too easy to 
be hit, but very hard to actually land 
any points yourself. 

Not that I'm saying fte game is 
difficult I finished it on my first go, 
using onty one move! Thinking this to 
oe a Lit the game on its 



PUPPET

in this game, Puppet 
would win Ihe award lor 
being Ihe stupidest look- 
ing. Built GUI ola 
collection ot cones, 
Puppet ti as the longest 
reach in tbe game, but lil- 
tle else. Easy to kick la 
Oils, but itDl too easy to 
defend against, he's worth

DANNY 

Based on our own Mr 
Siingshy, Danny is r.nnl. 
hard, has a great bairr.nl, 
and is a bit crap when il

ease. He jjsl stands there 
and gels Ihe shilling

Slow, clumsy and 
generally useless, he's 
definitely not the charac- 
1st to play. 



PHANTOM 

He's ooky, spooky and, la

legs, It you ever thought 
ghosts were insubstan- 
tial, then ihlnfc again. 
Phantom rs a hard little 
guy. especially with his 
Orb nT Destruction move, 
which has him disappear- 
ing into the fl gor arid 
turning into a steal ball 
which causes stacks and 
statfcs of damagE. 



WARRA 

Warrais king of the Ice 
world, and not a bad 
f igfaSsr with it. He has 3 
good range or punches 
and kicks, and his best 
move has la be his icy 
brealti. Essentially, he

Instead, it just keeps on walking into

Strangely enough, if you try to 
play it properly (i.e. not using a win-

most of the characters are useless. 
Dino, Warra and laeer are as inef- 
fective as they come, ye! Ka;-Ti is

Inferno, as his name suggests, is a human fireball. Bad news

TORVAK THE WARRIOR CORPORATION 



CORKERS OUT NOW £9.99 

ir$ the same okJ story... the hero's 

family have been massacred by a 

marauding band of goblins. So, 

swearing revervge, he's grabbed 

his axe and set ott to track Ihem 

down. Thus, the scene is sei for 

another crap platform-based hack 

'em up. You know,, I blame Arnold 

Schwarzenegger for ihe amount ot 

god awful hack and slash games 

on the market. If he hadn't starred 

as Conan The Barbarian I'm sure 

then? wouldn't have been such a resurgence in the genre. A fitting punishment 

would be (o make him play every one of them. 

I can't think ot anything decent to say about Torvak. The sprites scroll so 
slowly they act like they're on Valium, The firebutton response is so tardy 
that you can hit it two or three times before Torvak swings his axe. And the 
graphics and sound are basic in the extreme with in-game tunes non-exis- 
tent. All in ail a dire package with absolutely no enjoyment value 
Avoid at all costs.

Corporation was the first game to otter face digitisation. What this boiled down to 

was customers sending a picture plus statistical details (height, weight, skills, 

etc.) to Core Design who would customise the purchaser's game so that he/she 

became a character in it. You would see everything from a perspective identical 

to the one you" view the real world from. This gimmick has been copied since 

Ih&n by, most notably. US Gold with Legends of Valour. But Core were the first! 
Apart from the neat marketing ploy, Cotporationis a siandard 3D adventure 

game. Your character is dropped onto the top of the UGC building with a mission 

to reach the lab at its base to get some evidence- It's believed that UCC has 

been genetically engineering illegal mutants tor use as mercenaries and it's up 

to you to prove it. Ot course, 

sianding between you and the 

truth are 1 6 floors of robot and 

mutant tilled hell- 
Instead of opting for the 

old linear movement (forward, 

back, left and right) you can 

walk diagonally, move and 

turn at the same time and 

crouch - just like real life. The 

'downside of this freedom is 

that the game runs very 

slowly indeed, even on an 

A4000/Q40. If you can put up 

with this lack of vitality, 

Corporation is a cool game. 

The graphics have a richness 

that is rare outside PC adven-

lure games and there's a certain atmosphere that's generated by the unusual 

plot and clever traps. For instance, the things you meet are nol necessarily 
what they appear to be. On the first level there's a giant crab creature that 
won't die no matter how many times you shoot it- However, if you look care- 
fully you'H see three projection lenses in the wall -these are creating the 
hologramatic creature you're shooting. Blast them and it will disap- 
pear. An interesting and innovative RPG- Add it to your collection.

I've always had a thing for top-down blasters. Ever since I played a coin-op called Heavy Barrel I've been 
addicted lo the things. The aim of all these games is simple - run upacross the screen, meet lots of nice 
people, ihen kill them. Along the way there'll be ihe odd weapon powgr-up and eslra energy to collect. 
That's about it really. 

War Zone is no different. You get to play a stripped-to-the-waist warrior (Rambo has a lot to answer 
for!) as he journeys across five levels Of jungle, swamp and sewers betore reaching the enemy base. The 
enemies you'll face range from easy-to-kill cannon fodder soldiers up to huge battle tanks that need multi- 
ple hits from a bazooka to even scratch. 

Of all the recent Corkers releases Ihis one has to be my favourite- It's not 
special by a long way. The graphics are basic, the sonics limited to explosions 
and buHet effects and the feel «s dated. Overall though, Ms a fun game ^ 
to play, especially with two players working togeiher. (Tbfo.

COMBAT CLASSICS 2 



EMPIRE OUT NOW £29.99 

Combat Classics 2 tea\ure$ three of the best combat si mutator to appear on the Amiga with, not surprisingly, two of them coming from the MicroProse stable. 
What a mix! Talk about planes, trains and automobiles - this game should be renamed planes, tanks and submarines* 

First up, we've F-19 Stealth Fighter, MicroPnose's not-too-far wrong guess at Bw Ihen secret US radar-invisible bomber. Although il uses ttie same graphic 
engine as a lot ol MicroProse simulators, the game is radically different, There is no more high-speed racing into the target area, followed by loads of wanton and 
extremely easy-to-spol combat and then paving a blazing trail home. F-I9b more about hiding in corners, crawling along tunnels and generally keeping out of 
sight. A lot harder than most, but more rewarding than most. 

Then we come to Ihe incredible Pacific islands. Take lour tanks, and then win a war with them. It isn't the easiest game in Ihe world, but then who said war 
was easy? [One more cliche, and you're out! - Ed.} Imagine a game thai really put you in control ol a tank, where a mixture of shaded polygons and scaled 
bitmap images gave a more realistic view ol the outside world. Where real strategies took real planning, but ultimately win through, provided you have the guls to 
win through the actual combat. What can I say. other than it's one of my favourite games of last year. 

Finally we reach MicroPnose's Silent Service 2- SSI was a superb simulation in its own right, and ihis sequel takes everything that was good about the original 
and improves upon it immensely. II takes a while to get used to, and Ihe action is limited due to Ihe type of craft being simulated, bul you could do a lot worse if 
you're looking for a decent challenge. All together, they make up one of the best compilations around this Christmas, and a bargain at ihe price'

COMMANDO 

ALTERNATIVE OUT NOW £24.99 

Film licenses like this one don't come around very often. Thank godl II any of 
you remember the film, this game is a lot worse. It starred ex-WWF wrestler 
Hulk Hogan, favourite of kids and grannies everywhere, as Shep Ramsey. 
This intergalactic hero starts the film by destroying the evil General Suitor's 
ship, Unfortunately, Shep's ship is damaged in the battle and he crash lands 
on Earth. Here he must find parts to repair his ship while fighting off the atten- 
tions of the bounty hunters sent to kill him. 

The game follows the film fairly closely with the tirsl level comprising a 
scrolling shoot 'em up as Shep attacks the battleship. Once this level is 
passed the rest of the game turns into a basic platform beat 'em up. First 
there's the battleship, then downtown LA. and finally a halt finished 
skyscraper. All along there are robots, guards, street thugs and bounty 
hunters to avoid or bop on the nose. As an ex-wrestler Hulk/Shep is handy 
with his lists and feet but bis moves are limited to a punch, uppercut, sweep 
and flying kick. Trn nnernios have a range of weapons at their disposal includ- 
ing lasers, rivet guns, knives and batons. So, taking them out is usually a 
question of timing rather than steaming in with fists flying. 

The main sprite moves like he's on ice but his animation is lively. The 
tunes may very well come from the film but I didn't like them either. The game-

CHUCK ROCK 

CORKERS OUT NOW £9.99 

Chuck Rock has everything a good platform game should have: colourful sprites, 
cute main character, loads ol enemies and the usual nafl plot. Naff plot - his 
wife, Ophelia, has been kidnapped by 
Gary Gritler. so Chuck's out lo get her 
back. Unfortunately, she's been spir- 
ited away across a hostile land which 
is populated with loads of dinosaurs 
and most of 'em see Chuck as their 
next meal. There's swooping 
Pterodactyls, charging woolly 
Mammoths and "a huge Tricerotops - 
all Out to get him. Luckily, he's a pretty 
versatile caveman.- First, he's got a 
secret weapon down his pants. Can 
you guess what il is? That's right - his 
belly. His giant gut can bounce ene- 
mies right off the screen. Arid he can 
also throw rocks or use them as stepping stones to reach higher platlorms- 

Despite having only five levels, it's a pretty big game. There's loads of sub 
sections for Chuck to complete, hundreds of dinos to avoid and the odd puzzle 
to solve, As it's an action-orientated game the puzzles are basic, and mostly 
involve ihrowing a rock or belly butting something. There's a great cartoon feel to 
the game with the dinos spitting false teeth, pulling massive hammers out Of 
nowhere and rocks that suddenly sprout legs. 

Chuck Rock's a game that every joystick waggler should have in their col- 
lection. It's the kind of game that you can pick up, have a quick play 
with then put away for a couple of months. Definitely worth a tenner

DINOSAUR DETECTIVE AGENCY 

ALTERNATIVE OUT NOW £16.99 

Dtno Detective Agency is a very poor attempt to cash in on the still rolling Jurassic Park band- 
wagon. You get to guide Sherlock Ness, the 'famous' dino detective, through four cases (or 
levels) that he's got lo solve with ihe aid ol his trusty camera. Missing the chance to introduce 
some sex into the storyline - you know, man in raincoat taking furtive pictures - the four cases 
are boring in the extreme focusing on missing budgies, bank robberies, etc (yawn). 

The main sections olthe game are platform based with various bad dinosaurs out to stop 
Ness. Every time they hit him he loses one life. The only way to stop this is to jump over or stun 
them momentarily with the camera's flash. Ol course, you've only got a limited amount ol flashes, 
but they can be topped up by collecting the bulbs scattered around the level, At the end of each 
level there's a shooting gallery scene where you guide a wobbly crosshair around the screen in 
an attempt to get a full facial shot of the crook, Do it in Ihe time limit and' you're okay, fail and it's 
game over, 

This game is a waste ol a floppy disk. Crap animation, crap sounds and non-existent gameplay. 
If you can endure playing it lor more lhan five minutes you deserve a prize. As an alterna- ^^

thai trolls eat a lot offish and their

At the rem of the Scumm Bai there it

repeatedly on the loose plank you can 
scare away the greedy sea-gutl and pick 
up the fish fat yourself. 
P.S- Yott do realise tliat I'm not suggest-

There is no way to progress any 
further in the castle without the ben- 
efit of the beer, For example, I need 
to pour it onto the hot coals, and to 
disable the alarm system.. Please 
don't say I have to go back to the 
beginning because I have no save 
game files. If you can offer ng solution 
then please publish my phone num-

Keith Thornton, Esse* 

Ftnt are quite right that you need some 
beer from the ha reel to put out the fire 
and disable the alarm, but this game is 
pretty fair at letting you do things by 
another path. 

The main use for the beer is to get 
Meat for the dog, then -jom van gel the 
boxing trophy which you run fill with beer 
and give to Biff the .Xatt. Having had 
drmk, Biff mill think he's twice the man,

ADVENTURE HELPLINE CU AMIGA 



If you've got a problem of a more per- 
sonal nature, you can get expert advice 
toy writing io Uampyra's Agony Corner. 

I've just read a how to do It' 
book, (actually it was nearly all 
pictures) and i was amazed at Ihe 
physique or ihe guy in the pho- 
tographs. Now I'm worried that I'm 
an abnormal shape. 

How does someone find out if 
their equipment is adequate? I'm 19 
and what I would like to know is, 
when does your 'equipment' stop 
growing? 

Your 'equipment T continues to 
• get f anger for as long as you 
are prepared io tie bricks tn it. 
Dim "r worry about the guy in ihe 
pitman I knots fir a fact that he 
wean lace underwear. 



I am an IB -year- old female stu- 
J dent, yet my lather still insists 
that I can't stay out all nig hi. 

I'm sure thai a night person like 
yourself would agree that this is 
unreasonable. 

Could you reply and tell my falher 
thai I don't need to go la bed so 
early? 

A Tin sorry, but I don't agree 
it'if h vw u. .\'o mutter when I go 
out,. I always try to be in tied before 
midnight. Otherwise, I go home! 



Story, girls?) You could, instead, just fight 
;«isi Miff and forget the hen: It 
would tie a tough fight but I'm sure you 
eoutd iio it if you thought I was waiting 

for \tllt llj.istiijf-. 

Hopefully thai should save the day, to 
tor don '.' need tn publish your telephone 
number- Til just keep it for myself. 

GOING FOR THE 
JUGULAR... 

I did have problems with Monkey 
Island, but after I saw your lovely 
pictures in the November issue of 
CU AMIGA I forgot all about my bur- 
densome problems. If you are 
Vampyra then I am Dracula. How 
about a date? 

Da mien Robinson, Swansea, 

f_Jou> sweet you are. rlmm J do like toll 
±± limit handsome metr. Perhaps we 
outfit meet, hitt it could only befoTJusi s 
quirk bite. 



WAXWORKS 

I'm stuck in the Mine section of 
Waxworks, I'm trying to work oul 
whs re the mutant's weak spots are. 
Is there some way Id make the 
chemical spray last longer, so it 
leaves enough for the vines, pods 
and spikes? Uncle Boris is not much 
help. 

I've really enjoyed this game up 
until now. but it's becoming impossi- 
ble. ! know the whereabouts of the 
medi-kit for the doctor, but by the 
time I get anywhere near it, I've lost 
most of my hit points and I perish at 
the hands of the welcoming 
mutants. 

Keith Ellis, Chelmsford. 

rhere are man\ units' to skin n eat, so 
don't despair, in At wring you can 

find tt generator full of gasoline. Hick 
on the generator'* drainage holt and 
select open. (Ihe the screwdriver from 
the professor to do this bit.) Nest, click 
on the sprayer and drag it over the flow- 

■ ■.fiUnr. (hue the sprayer is frill 
you i tin auitkfy replug the hole to have 
enough in the generator for a second 
refill. Yon now have two client es. Yon 
can either use the gasoline mixture m it 
is, or use it with the lighter from the pro- 
fessor to make a wickeil flame-thrower. 

LEISURE SUIT 
LARRY II 

I've been 'looking for love in all ihe 
wrong places' and getting nowhere 

I'm stuck on the beach of the 
tropical island just wearing the bot- 
tom half of an ilsy-witsy bikini. 

The Russian agents won't let me 
past them because it's obvious to 
them that I'm not s girl 

Terry Harvey, Penzance.

W bottom is fine if yon have u ftgtite 
like mine (I've got cunvs in places where 
some girl*, don '/ e: yii ii;t. v- places), hut I 
suggest ilifit tots search the hotlom of th< 
ship's swimming fjotil to find something 
that will cover up your defkieney. 

THE IMMORTAL 

I am on the lasl level ol The 
Immortal and \'m lacing ihe 
dragon. Once I have used my six 
blink spells and fire protection 
am done for. 

I also have six statue spells, 
magnetic hands and sonic pro- 
tection, all of which I've tngd but 
none have helped. 

Brett Higgins, Tasmania. 

/did Imve n moil fiddle with 
this gome, but I found ! 

had to move too quickly. I tlt> 









Well all of this excitement has 
brought quite a Hush to my 
cheeks, so 1 think III get oul ol 
these damp clglhes and slip Into a 
dry martini. See you n-exl month. 
And remember, don't hesilafeio 
write to me if you are having any 
problems with adventure games. 
RPG games and anything else that 
tickles your fancy. Write down 
your littie problem and send it in a

You must avoid the fire six timet 
using the blink spell. The dragon mil go 
en to breathe fire once more, but it won't 
manage it fast tmte, {fm not surprised 
if the pout thing has alreadx managed it 
ax times,?) 

As he starts to t>y again, activate the 
fire protection spell. Holt! the amulet tip

this point the wizard will appear.

If you're looking for a quality Word 
Processor/Publisher that performs as 
well as this, you may well start by 
searching through PC and Apple™ 
Macintosh™ software catalogues. 

Even then though, you probably 
won't find a program that will 
combine the very best in Word 
Processing and... easy to use 
integrated DTP type facilities, 

You certainly can't find 
software for your Amiga 
that's capable of all this... 



Unless, you buy an expensive PC or Macintosh™ 
a high priced Colour PostScript™ Laser Printer, 
and a complex, costly Desk Top Publishing Package,,.

CU AMIGA REVIEW OF THE YEAR 




As the sun slowly sets on another 
product-packed year, John Kennedy 
takes a look back over the past twelve 
months and selects what he considers 
to be the high-points and low-points... 



That was the year, that was — all 12 magazine 
packed months nl it From me 'Gel Serious' 
point of view 1993 was an excellent time' to 
own an Amiga - Iocs of graphics, lots ol new hardware 
and the brand spanking new A1 2DD was still warm and 
smelling of freshly baked plastic. 

The new 16 million colour AGA chipset drought 
forth a rash of software upgrades, and prompted sev- 
eral manufacturers to creale video cards for those nol 
wanting to dump Older computers. At la si the ageing 
Motorola 6BQ00 was laid to rest as the standard 
Amiga CPU, and the fully 32-bit 69020 has became 
Itie entry level processor. The standard memory limits 
have also been upped la a sensible 2Mb, and proba- 
bly the besl Amiga ever was released - the CD32. 

Much rumouring and murmuring has accompa- 
nied Ihe decline of Ihe Amiga and Commodore in 
Ihe US, but whatever Ihe current share price, the 
CD32 is widely reckoned to be the machine to make 
or break ihe company, 

Many promised hardware and soltware items sim- 
ply tailed to leave West Chester, as ell production 
was concentrated on the new Sena Nintendo beater. It 
it succeeds , which it deserves lo , the Amiga will 
emerge stronger than ever before with a Iresh user 
base eager to experience what the Amiga is capable 

fol. II it fails, who knows... Perhaps we'll all be using 
Falcons this time next year (hah!). 

CU AMIGA 'GET SERIOUS' 
AWARDS 1 993 

As the only one sober enough lo rem e m ber Ihe past 
1 2 issues w i th a ny eta nly . il h as la 1 1 e n an my shoul- 
ders tQ select Ihe items al hardware and soltware 
which (think deserve to be considered worthy ol a 
jewel encrusted, 24- carat golden Get Serious statue 
in ihe shape ol Dan blowing his nose 

I've judged Ihe all items from the current techno- 
logical standpoint (and which have survived on my 
hand disk the Icngesll, which may mean the scores 
received at the lime of the review are in conflict with 
each other. 



vii 

Winner: RecKey 

Runnier up: VideoMasler 
Desktop Video has still to reach its full potential on 
the Amiga, due) in part In the high price of equip- 
ment. The RocKey Chrornakey was an exception, 
as it offered real live cbromakeying effects at a 
fraclion ol the cost of other hardware, It's even 
cheaper now, which makes it remarkable value for 
money. Also eminently affordable was the 
VideoMasler digitiser, which managed to capture 
live video- and sound at 25 frames a second on a 
standard Amiga. This amazing feat was only let 
down by software which didn't tully support the IFF 
animation standard-

HARDWARE AWARDS 



GRAPHICS. 
Winners Retina 

Runners up: Picasso II, Frame Machine 
1993 saw an explosion in the number ol graphics 
cards lor Ihe Amiga, Although Ihe AGA chipset was 
standard in ihelow-ccsl A120D, editing 
A2QDa7A3D0u owners bad made large investments 
in terms ol accelerators and bard drives, and 
needed a graphics upgrade, German companies 
were besl al ihe price/performance rati*, and the 
pairing ol V-Lah and Retina (April) as a 24-bil dis- 
play and capture team gets my vole. The software 
upgrades Id allow sequences to be lakenlrom 
video lifts it above all other cards- A close second 
was Picasso II (December), which arse provided 
excellent results and the Frame Machine 
(September) which may had been the most tricky 
Zone card to fit ever, bul offered very clever real 
lime re-scaling nl live video.

SOUND 

Winner: 

lecnnosound Turbo II 

Runner up: DSS8+, One Stop Music Shop 

There is still no definitive cheap IB- bit sound sam- 
pler on the Amiga, and although several have tried 
(Clarity, Maestro.) the big shortcoming is always the 
software support. For S- bit qualify, Technosound 
Turbo II gets the prize, with the dearly-cased 
DSS84 Irom GVP coming second. For bringing 
prolessional level sound (almost) within reach of 
ordinary Amiga owners. One Stop Music Shop gels 
an honourable mention. 

CQMMS 

Winner: GVP PhonePak 

Runner up: US Robotics Sportster 
In the October 'Wired World' article we looked at 
nearly every modem under the sun. Oddly, the win- 
ner isn't a modem, it's the GVP PhonePak which is 
an amazing card capable of answering the tele- 
phone, taking messages, giving messages and 
doubling as a FAX machine. It's an incredible cand 
which deserves more attention that it's currently 
getting, The second prize goes to the Sportster 
modem, which consistently sent data the fastest 
and made the mosl reliable connections, It may 
look like a Stylophone. but it's a darn good modem, 

(ffiKE?«?SoXA 

Runner up: GVP1230 

The At 200 is a hugely popular machine, which 
means there is a large market for memory and 
accelerators. GVP and Microbotics were two com- 
panies quick to offer an upgrade for the existing 
63020 processor. The winner is trie M1230XA

(July) from Microbotics, which can support up to 
1 29Mb of HAM if you can afford the SIMMs, With 
this card, the At 200 went faster than the 
A4000/030 - a terrific achievement. The GVP card 
(April) was almost as fasl, but cost slightly more 
amid that's the only reason it was runner up. 

MISC 
Winner: CD32 

Runner up: Amiga 4000/030, Commodore 
1942 Monitor 

Much to everyone's surprise the successor to the 
CDTV, the eagerly awaited CD 32 (August) turned 
out to be one hell ot a machine. The marriage of a 
double speed CD-ROM drive to the colourful AGA 
chipset and 63020 means the CD32 is potentially 
the most powerful games console on the market. 
Commodore promised 70+ titles for Christmas, 
and although this target has not been reached 
there are still a lol of excellent games available. 
Minor criticisms of the CD32 include a rather naff 
plastic case and the lack of serial or floppy disk 
ports. Bui at least the latter will be fixed by the 
forthcoming expansion unit. 

The Amiga 4000 launched late the previous 
year offered amazing power with its 68040 proces- 
sor, but unfortunately was beyond the budget of 
many users. May saw the A4M0/030, which used 
a much cheaper and slightly slower 68030 engine. 
The A4000/030 is the replacement for the A2000 
and initial sales out-stripped supply. 

To make the most of Ihe new AGA flicker-free 
screen modes you need a VGA or multisync moni- 
tor, and one of the best is also from Commodore (a 
really good year from Ihe techies at Big C). The 
1 942 will display all screen modes at good resolu- 
tion and even has a pair of stereo speakers for 
games players. Nice one. 



REVIEW OF THE YEAR CU

CD-ROM software 
Winner: Am met collection 

Runner up: CDPDllt 

The award for squeezing the most high quality 
software on to one disc goes to itie Walnut Creek 
Amine/ collection, which filled hundreds of 
megabytes with archived material from the world's 
largest Amiga PD collection (December}. 
Almathera's Ihird volume of PD is more accessible, 
with more in the way ol images and sounds 
(November). Both are a bargain, provided you 
have a CD-ROM player. 

winner: PorgeSeffer 3 

Runner up: The Publisher. Wordworth 2 

Gold Disk are still the bee's knees when il comes 
to DTP, and PageSetler 3 (March) offered hun- 
dreds of features at a bargain price. T/jp 
Pubfi£h$f was so impressive that we actually 
reviewed it twice and is now at a new budget- 
busting price! 






Believe It or not, but I rendered this image using only Real 30

came the CD32, but where was the FMV. first 

demonstrated to an unbelieving bunch of journal- 
ists? And what about the expansion for the 
A12QG? Where will it leave existing A1200 memory 
expansions and accelerators? What about the 
fabled Falcon-beating Digital Signal Processor, the 
retargetable graphics, the 1 6-bit sound? 



The next year will be make or break for 
Commodore. Assuming we're all here next 
year, here is what I predict I'll be writing about: 
MPEG will become more widely available and 
usable, as will decent 16-bit sound cards. 
affordable writable CD-ROM and CDXL (AGA). 
New high-end Amiga Workstations based on 
the AAA chipset will be launched with the home 
version running Workbench and Windows NT. 

MOST UNDERRATED THINGS 

After all we have been given to play with, there 
are a few items which seem to get a lot of bad 
press, or no press at all. Arexx is still the 
unsung hero Of AmigaDOS. and the A570 and 
CDTV CD-ROM drives died a most unnecessary 
death. The internal IDE interface brought hard 
drives to more users than ever before, and all 
some folk can do is sniff and say "should have 
been SCSI'. Finally. CrossDOS gels a mention 
for providing an easy to use bridge with the 
worlds of IBM and Apple.

CU AMIGA REVIEW OF THE YEAR 



t 




What a year! WHAT A YEAR! The CU 
Amiga team cannot remember a more 
productive or rewarding twelve months 
when it comes to Amiga games software. 
Here's our pick of the crop... 



What can I say! Tlie best game released in 
1 993 has to be ihe awesome Frontier. 
Five years in the making, it received the 
absolutely enormous score of 97 par cent in 
November's CU, along with a six page review. The 
kind of game you can play for months without get- 
ting tired. Frontier is THE game of '93. Mind you, 
Bullfrog's Syndicate isn't too far behind. Hailed as 
one of Ihe best games ever, this extremely violent 
mob shootout has ytiu searching a city, blasting, 
innocent civilians and generally re-enacting the 
most violent movies of your choice. Nineiy-four per 
cent? Worth every one, in our opinion, 

If helicopters are more your thing, then what 
about EA's stunning conversion ot Desert Strike, 
surely one of the greatesl Mega Drive games ever, 
Those Sega owners must have been turning in 
their graves 
when they 
realised that 
the 93 per cent 
rated smash hit 
was actually 
better on the 
Amiga! It had 
better explo- 
sions, better 
sound effects 
and better con- 
trols all round. 
Speaking ol 
better, some- 
one else who 
topped their 



previous best was Dino Dini, who released Goal' 
through Virgin this year (afier splitting with 
An co and losing the Kick Off name inlc the 
bargain) to massive applause and bigger 
scores, raking in a massive 93 per cent, 

For the less soccer minded, there was 
always Sim Life to fall back on. Reviewed back 
in May if was yet another game to score 93 per 
cent, and wins the award for being one of Ihe 
mos| complicated simulations ever. Take a life 
form, and evolve it on an ever-changing planet 
Sirange, but true, 

if adventures 
are more your cup 
of tea, you could 
always delve into 
Ihe large and glo- 
rious Ishar 2. With 
Over 400,000 
views over a large 
variety of land- 
scapes, this is one 
of ihe most chal- 
lenging games to 
come out of 
France, and it also took a 93 per cent score 
home with it. 

Later in the year came a clutch of more tradi 
tional games. September saw the release of 
Soccer Kid, and with it the promotion ol.Krisalis 
software to the top of the league. 

A fun platform game, it used a football in a 
way never seen in an Amiga game before. 

And what about this month? Mortal Kombal 
and Terminator 2 appeared - iwo red hot 

arcade conversions from Virgin 
games scoring 93 and 92 per 




.ion. How I would have loved to 
talk about the terrific 
Adventure soft game Waxworks, 
which scored 91 per cent, or 
Team 17's Body Blows, the 
Straetfigfrler beater that also 
scored 91 per cent, 

didn't even have time to 
ealch up with Hired Guns, yet 
another 91 per cent title, With 
the new AGA machines beginning to take over 
as the base level for games, let's hope that '94 
is even bettor. <2?> 



THOSE THAT DIDN'T 
QUITE MAKE IT

CU AMIGA PREDICTS 






Commodore will finally release their high end MA 
machines. Maybe. 

David Bra hen will appear wrlh Hie first mission dish lor 
Frontier, and it will stay at number one far months. 
SomenoE will figure put how la keep 8Mb at HAM in Che 
trapdoor without disabling the PCMCIA slot. 
A sound card for Ihe Amiga will be released. 
David Pleasance will get his own chat show.

arcade machines to 
hit Ihe streets. Both 
of them have con- 
verted lo the Amiga 
beautifully, and 
doubtless both will 
end up in many a 
slocking this year. 

1993 has to have 
been one of the best 
years for Amiga 
games ever seen. 
Th&re are just far too 
many games to men- 



6. Alternative will Create a game based on KilrBf . 

7. A leading Amiga magazine will run an eight-page fea- 
ture explaining how 112 write all Iheir music on an

Let's face it, 88QK floppy disks aren't the mass 
storage medium they seemed to be when ihe 
Amiga was launched. With the rise ol 24-bit 
graphics, enormous adventure games, expansive 
DTP files and ihe like, low density disks get more 
inadequate by the day, There are hard drives of 
course, but you can't take out your hard drive every 
lime you want to exchange files with anolher com- 
puter. Power's 1.76 Mb Internal XL drive could be 
just the solution. 

The external version of the XL Drive has been 
on general release for a few months, but it's only 
now that you can get one that tucks neatly into your 
Amiga's beige box. Hooking it up is fairly simple for 
an internal job. There's really only one possible 
connector for each of the two contact points on the 
drive, so as long as you put them on the right way 
round, nothing much can go wrong, That's the 
hardware side out of the way, but there's also the 
question of the installation software. Before the 
Amiga can read and write to high density disks, you 
need to install a software patch onto your startup 
sequence. Apart from giving you greater capacity 
for your own files, the Internal XL also lets you read 
high density PC disks, expanding your compatibility 
further still-

likely load as a 
benchmark lor 
fulure releases. 



You can upgrade your Fast RAM til you're 
blue in the face, but after the first halt 
megabyte, it won'l do anything for your 
sampling capacity. If, like me, you've struggled 
with the constraints of a 1 Mb A500 for years, the 
prospect of a whole 2Mb of Chip RAM will proba- 
bly seem like a massive luxury, Chip RAM 
upgrades have been available before, but they've 
had the disadvantage ol turning oft any trapdoor 
expansion you might need, which is where 
Power's Megachip 2 comes in. 

In order to increase your Chip RAM, you need 
to increase Ihe size of your Agnus chip. 
Unfortunately, this means that you can't just slot 
in a card - yes, it's screwdriver time I'm afraid. 
The Megachip 2 is actually a replacement Agnus 
Chip. The instructions for installing il are adequate 
and encourage you to call Power's technical 
helpline if you have any doubts (there's one in the 
eye for the box-shifters). Installation involves 
locating your existing Agnus chip, prising it out. 
and slotting in your new one. A few trailing wires 
then nave to be connected to ihe legs ol a neigh- 



bouring chip. This shouldn't pose a problem as 
the relevant connections are indicated in the 
manual. Once you've done lhal, all thai remains 
is to tuck everything away, put the case back on 
and power up. 

You'll now find that some of your Fast RAM 
has been taken over but, most importantly, you'll 
have a oc-uple of megabytes of Chip RAM to play 
with. The difference this makes lo OctaMED or 
Protracfons stunning. Instead of being limited to 
modules ot around 300K. now you can produce 
2Mb monsters! Apart from the sound advantages, 
you'll have access lo games that need extra chip 
RAM, and, if you're into graphics, you'll be able to 
use more colours at higher resolutions. This is 
just the thing to inject some new life into any tired 
Old A50D.

SCAPE MAKER 








One ol the biggest criticisms levelled at VR 
Laboratory's Vista fractal landscape genera- 
tor, has always been its inability to convert 
IFF images to fractal scenery. Even the latesl 
release, Vi$ta Pro 3,0. still won't handle this all- 
important task. It may seem like a rathgr pointless 
thing to do, but imagine being able to generate an 
animation of an aircraft Hying across a company 
logo that's raised: up tram a fractal generated land- 
scape - even the guys at Industrial Light and Magic 
(they of Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park fame) 
would be proud of an effect like that! 

Not surprisingly, an entrepreneurial company has 
stepped in to fill the gap with the release of 
ScapeMaker. a utility that can convert either an entire 
image, or a small portion of an image into a Vista 
■DEM' tile, which can then be loaded into Vista and 
transformed into a fractal image complete with grass, 
snow, trees and even buildings. Obviously you'll 
need to own Vista to be able to take advantage of 
this utility, as ScapeMakens nothing more than a 
conversion tool. It does, however, include a number 
of tools that will allow you to edit existing DEM files to 
make them smoother, and you can even merge an 
IFF graphic with a DEM. so that the IFF appears to 
blend in with a true fractal landscape, 

Designing an IFF image for use with 
ScapeMaker is surprisingly simple. The easiest way 
is to design your graphic in 1 6 colours using a 
range of greys Irom black to white. Each colour rep- 
resents a ramp level with white being the highest 
and black the lowest. Once you've imported the 
graphic into Scapetvtaker, all you have to do is to 
mark the region of Ihe image you'd like converted to 
a OEM, select 'Make DEM' and the graphic will be 
converted. Unless you've smoothed the graphic 
yourself, the cliff edges will be rather harsh when 




If you've e*ar warned te carv» faun name in fh* ftWIi ei a VlalB 
landsDHpe, ScapvVekerl* 0« uUHlylw yOU. 

the image is rendered in Vista, so it's worth 
smoolhing the DEM to create more receding cliff 
faces. The results can certainly be pretty stunning, 
especially if you merge your DEM with an existing 
\anscape.ScapeMaker is the utility that the makers 
of Vista Pro forgot to write, and it should be at the 
lop or every Vista user's shopping list. Highly rec- 
ommended.

2MB AMIGA 

SMART 

It's the size and shape of a credit card, and it can boost your A 1 200 or 
600's RAM by 2Mb, It couldn't be simpler- ail you do is plug it in and 
boot up. The PCMCIA port is the unassuming slot on the left-hand 
side of your Amiga. It's only 16 bits wide, so it's limited to passing 1 6 bits 
at a time, rather than the 32 that are spewn back and forth from the rest 
of the A1 200's chips. The result is a very slight speed increase, but not 
half as much as you'd get with a trapdoor Fast RAM expansion (which 
generally would give a doubling in speed). In fact, it's unlikely that you'd 
notice any acceleration in normal day-to-day running, even though 
SysJbjfa docks about a 20 per cent increase. 

This is one at the cheapest ways ol expanding your SOO/1200's RAM. 
1200 owners have the option of spending about £50 more for a 4Mb 
trapdoor board, while 600 owners can take the far cheaper option of a 
1 Mb trapdoor card for £35. Bear in mind that most trapdoor expansions 
will disable anything that's plugged into the PCMCIA port. Although in 
Iheory it's possible to daisy-chain peripherals that use the PCMCIA port, 
we've yet to come across any that come with through-ports. For exam- 
ple, you won't be able to use it in conjunction with Software Demon's 
Overdrive -

T^e o^Iv trouble with Rombo's early'low-cost digitisers was speed None 
ofVem ha- what it takes to capture moving images. Mat Broomf.e.d 
tooks at the Vidi 12 and 24 RT, which should change all that. 



Rombo have dominated the budget digitiser 
markettor years.. Now they're raising their 
sights lo take on the likes of V-lab. Have they 
done enough pre-Ught training? Despite infrequent 
forays into other Amiga arenas. Rombo have more 
or less made their fortune selling low-cost digitis- 
ers They started with Vidi Amiga, a package that 
needed a separate colour splitter lor video work, 
or coloured filters it you were using i a -camera- 
Several years later, they released Vidi 12, a i*w 
device which was subsequently altered to incorpo- 
rate AG A screen modes. 

This digger sold for under £100, yetoflered 
relatively good quality, arid had a built-in colour 
splitter Its only problem was that it was relatively 
slow to capture an image, taking nearly a second 
per Irame to grab - at toast 25 times too slow to 
capture a live full-colour video image. 

Their newest products are called Vidi 12 RT and 
Vidi 24 RT The RT in the title stands tor real time, 
so it won't take a great leap of genius to work out

AN OLD FRIEND 



If you've used Vidi 12, the software accompanying 
Vidi 12 RT or Vidi 24 RT will be familiar, as it looks 
identical and irveludes many of the same features. 
When the program loads, you're greeted by the 
main screen. At the right of the screen is a window 
that can be used to show the currently selected 
image, whilst at the left is a row of buttons which 
vou can use to access the various parts of the pro- 
gram. The first of these buttons are used to define 
vour grab and display preferences and are only 
accessible from this screen. This is where you can 
set up the defaults used each time you capture an 
imaqe. This section includes the brightness, con- 
trast and colour controls. You can also specify the 
type of image captured by the hardware. Th,s is 
distinctly different trom the displayed image. _ 

For example,, you can capture a low-resolution 
image, but display it in super high-res (on an AG A 
machine). Or you can capture a high-res interlaced

lines, twice as high as stan- 
dard TV, and equal to 
professional broadcast cam- 
eras. Vidi 12 manages half 
that resolution, which is quite 
adequate for digitising video. 

Whilst you're grabbing

shown a monochrome pre-

RAMMING THE 
MESSAGE HOME 

Due nl the program's greatest shortfalls Is the way it 
chomps up your tree memory, Even en a OMfo A12M I con- 
stantly ran out, and al times il was only possible to store 
one tome to RAM. I think that given Its FAM-hungry 
nature, Romeo should definitely have incorporated a virtual 
RAM feature whereby you could use a hard drive, or even a 
1 loppy disk as additions I Unwary memory. Considering 
toe program's relatively low price point, rt seems a shame 
thai it needs additional memory to gel any real usability out 
ollt. 

II also doesn't fully reclaim HAM that il has used and 
finished wilh, so if you digitise a dozen pictures and delete 
them all from its memory, you may still have lo reload Ihe 
sollware because you no longer have sullicient RAM lo 
work wilh. This is actually a fairly well documented prob- 
lem, known as Irag mentation. Many applications require 
contiguous (all in one chunk) memory lo wort. 

Unfortunately, each lime you delete a picture with Vldi 
12 rjr 2A, the memory gets broken down into little chunks, 
so although all of the memory is being returned to your sys- 
tem, it is no longer contiguous and therefore can't be used. 



Abate iett. The casing used by both VMW tS and VTfffl 24 
is small, bul not snuff armuoh to leave the serial part ft** 
lor other pe/iphet*l9- 

Ahore; ffen**th the case is a two-tier circuit boar0, with 
the components "plggy-bacKsd" on a pair at weit- 
tSealgned cu/rcuits, 



whereas the carrousel and main windows will 
show a grayscale representation. 

So anyway, you've selected your prefer- 
ences, now you can go lo the grab screen 
where you'll capture an image. You can specify 
whether the grab should be in colour or 
monochrome, and you can also reselect your 
video source. You can even choose time- lapse 
digitising, with intervals ranging between half a 
second and six hours. And it you're really get- 
ting creative you can rig it up lo take a shot 
each time a switch is triggered, making it ideal 
for certain types of security and 
surveying work. 

Although similar lo earlier ver- 
sions ol the software , there are a 
number of omissions from this sec- 
tion. The only notable AWOL is Ihe 
lacilttyto capture a single colour - 
component - red, green or blue - 
although this is not too importanl 
as you can always extract, the required component 
later. The easiest way to capture an image is to select 
Colour and Auto, then dick the Grab button when 
you're ready. The image will be captured as three 
separate screens, one for each of 1)he red, green and 
blue colour planes. These are then combined and out- 
put in the display mode of your choice. 

Unfortunately, this mode of operation presents 
one serious limitation, and that is ihe fact that you 
n>eed space in RAM for a full 24-bit image plus what- 
ever the displayed image will be. This means that 
you can run out of memory extremely quickly. 

If you have Auto selected, once an image has 
been captured, the three RGB components will be 
combined and a screen of the specified screen 
mode will be created and stored in the carrousel. 




ROUND AND ROUND WE GO 

The carrousel is like a slide viewer. In can store as 
many frames as you have memory lor, and you can 

view (hem individually or one after the other. You 
can also save screens and animations from here, 
and rt even lets you import and export images in 
the PC's BMP or TIFF lormals, A PCX loader/saver 
is also planned. It's important to note that you can 
also save your pictures as 12-bit or 24-bit images, 
regardless ol the mode they're displayed in. 

POWERFUL PROCESSES 

The program also offers a good selection of image 
processing toots, In fact, this is one area that gets

CU AMIGA PRODUCT TEST 







» be surprised it we saw Rombo releasing some kind 
of standalone image processing package in the not- 
too-distantfuture.There are now 24 different 
operators, and, although some or them do really bor- 
ing things like Flip-X and Flip-Y, Ihere are some 
complex and useful oplions too. What makes these 
options powerful is the fact that they can be applied 
to either the current image, or all selected frames - 
ideal if you want to image-process an animation! 

The options themselves have been greatly 
enhanced as well. Now, rather than simply giving 
you a name that you click on to perform a prede- 
fined operation, a requester appears asking you to 
farther specify how the effect is to be applied. In 
most cases, Ihis simply means moving a slider 1o 
indicate the degree by which the image should be 
modified. But there are occasions when you can 
actually define the way that the effect will work. 

Convolve is the most vivid example. Although it 
is complicated to understand, once you do, you 
can actually define your own set of affects ranging 
tram colour enhancement, to edge detection. 

IHE UPGRADE PATH 

Vidi 12 and 24 RT are greal lun fur the enthusiastic ama- 
ifiur. and Rnmfao say that they'll stand up against any nlher 
itiqiii-ser costing £1.000 or less. The> are reasonably 
pricgd, alitiaugti by no means could you describe 111 em as 
give-aways. However, the one thing that eases Ihe finan- 
cial strain is that Romho have provided a very easy 
upgrade path lor owners al either of the Vidi 12 products. 

If you own Vidi 12ynu can swap it lor Vidi 12 FT lor 
£129 or Vidi 24 FIT for £199, giving ynu a saving of £80 and 
£100 respectively. Vidi 12 RT owners can upgrade to Vidi 
24 RT lor £99, which means that they actually save £1 by 
doing it Ihis way! 

The reason trial Ham be can offer such generous 
upgrades is because their new board is so easy to upgrade. 
In tact. I must cm nip I i me nl them on what is a masterpiece 
at circuit board design. Basically, rather than wasting zil- 
lions ol pounds redesigning Ihe casing each lime they 
bring out a new dinitiser. Fta mho simply ensure Itial Ihey 
always lil inside Ihe Brisling design. 

In Ihe case of tfie RTs, they also wanted easy upgrade- 
ability, so what Ihey did was create a piggy-bartr 
(daughter) hoard which plugs and screws onto the main cir- 
cuit board. 




A greysc*!* preview of Ihe currant screen Is displayed in (he 
main window, although Ihis e*n be switched off if you prefer. In

gram Is. 1tie facility 1a Interrupt or abort any 0<Mon before it's

ttiem take several minutes IP complete. 

CONCLUSION 

Initially I lound Vidi 1 2/24 RT is a bit of a disap- 
pointment after having waited so long, and having 
heard so much hype about it. It seemed to suffer in 
three major areas: 
1. It uses too much memory. 
Z- U can't grab colour sequences in real time. 
3. The image clarity doesn't seem loo great, even 
compared to Rombo 's cwn earlier Vidi 12 rjigitiser. 

II was only when I phoned Rombo to moan, (hat I 
started to appreciate just what a remarkable feat they 
have achieved, The problem with memory is a natu- 
ral side-effect of working with 24-bit images 
occupying nearly 1Mb each. As lor grabbing real 
rime colour sequences, Rombo pointed out that such 
a feature would require a unit capable of digitising 
and storing to disk 25Mb of data a second! As there 
are no drives chat can write that fast, it comes as little 
surprise to learn thai there are no home or semi-pro 
units capable of real time 24-bit sequence capture. 

My final grouse was caused by the tact that I 
was digitising in interlace mode. Because of the 
way this mode works I was getting motion artifacts 
which manifested themselves as a blurred image. 
As soon as I dropped the hardware capture to npn- 
interlace, the problems went away. 

At El &9 I think that Vidi 12 RT is Ihe cheapest 
real-time 24-bit digitiser in the world, and it's the 
only one for the Amiga that doesn't need a big-box 
machine such as the A1 500 or 3000. 




This picture shows the 

remarkitile resolution and 

quality that's possibl* with VLdi 24 

FIT. I simply plonhed Ihe camera cfflwii 

next 1o my cat Spud , called: hit name, and Ihe 

instant he opened his sy** I caplured his sanguine 

Expression in lull interlaced overscan, 



The software is slicker than previous versions, 
and I like the user interface which appears to con- 
form closely to Commodore's design guidelines. 

Even on an A1200, mixing the RGB compo- 
nents 10 create screen images is a very slow 
business, and using the special effects In the Edit 
menu is even worse. 

I think it would be fair to say that regardless of 
the computer you use it on,, most of your time will 
be spent waiting whilst the software modifies your 
images. 

It offers a good entry point to the world Ol real 
time digitising, but I strongly suggest that if you're 
interested in the 24-bit model, you try the 12 -bit ver- 
sion first - that might be enough for you. /£&

Ever wondered what the 
makers of Real 3D do on 
their day off? John 
Kennedy discovers that 
rather than lie around the 
house all day they have 
entered the interactive 
world of multimedia. 



Idon'i particularly want lo review Aetna's latest 
baby, and I'll tell you why; I'd rather no one else 
knew about it. Cm hoping lhal you won't notice 
the rather attractive screen shots on this page, and 
my carefully-crafted text will entirely pass you by. 
Irt fact, I demand that you skip this review com- 
pletely and move on to the Back Chat page, which 
is rather good, as I'm in it this month. 

MULTIMEDIA MAGIC 

Now that I'm alone, I'm at liberty to waffle on to 
myself about MediaPoint, safe in the knowledge 
that no one else is going to steal my ideas, 
because after playing around with MediaPoint, 
I've got lots, of new ideas. Now I know how I can 
use the Amiga to actually do something useful lor 
a change. 

Once upon a lime, someone thought of 'multi- 
media' and it's still the magic word in computer 
land, mainly because it can mean exactly what you

want il |o mean. To me, multimedia is an interac- 
tive and informative blend rjltext, pictures, 
animations and sound, and Acliva International 
Inc seem to agree with me because that's exactly 

what MediaPoint 
creates. The eas- 
iest way to 
describe this pro- 
gram is to think of 
an incredibly 
easy-to-under- 
stand programm- 
ing language. 
Think of a lan- 
guage that will 
load and display 
a picture in any 
mode without 
fuss, add text 
anywhere on the 
screen and play a 
sound tracker 
module in the 
background 
whilst wailing for 
the user to press 
a key or click on 
a gadget, Even 
better, think ol a 
language that 
otters all this in 
an intuitive point 



and click environment and also supports a huge 
array of extra hardware. Now you have a good 
grasp as to what MediaPoint is all about. 

SCRIPTING EXAMPLE 

Here's a simple example where MediaPoint would 
be very useful. Now remember, I'm talking to 
myself here so don't run off and do this - it's my 
idea. Imagine you run an estate agent, and you 
want a useful window display, something a little 
more eye-catching than bland photographs of 
suburban nightmares, Using a still-video camera, 
you take lots of photographs inside and around 
your houses. Then you digitise them with V-Lab 
or some such, and store the pictures on a hard 
drive, Also on the drive you put Me&igPaml run- 
ning a script which displays the houses in a main 
window, their features down the Side and finally 
ihe price. Your easy-lo-pay, budget plan, iow 
finance mortgage rates also flash up on screen 
occasionally. 

Using a touch screen device, and an ARexx 
driver, you then offer passers-by the ability to 
select a house and even take a little guided lour 
(with soundtrack) by means, of the keypad. If they 
choose, they can enter iheir telephone number 
and in the morning you can call them to make an 
appointment. 

It would take an hour or so to write the script 
using MediaPoint, and the system would pay for 
itself in one sale. That's exactly what multimedia 
is all about. .

SO WHAT'S NEW? 

Activa certainly haven't come up with something 
astonishingly new with Medi&Point, instead they 
have looked at the previous efforts and improved 
them- beyond measure. 

Most other authoring programs olfer limited 
support tor animations and sound, but MediaPoint 
covers just about everything. All normal Amiga 
ANIM file formats are covered, including the new 
and improved AMIM7 format which wipes the floor 
with the older versions when used with 6602G and 
better processors. As the AGA chipset permits 
some exceptionally detailed animations, ANIM7 is 
essential tor decent frame rates. MediaPoint WM 
spool anims directly from hard disk and if you 
lower the frame rate slightly, 'A can do it without 
any sudden jerks as well. I'd give the editor's right 
arm to get a chance to play with a SCSI 2 drive, as 
the results would be very impressive indeed. 
[Thanks John. I'll remember those kind words 
whne it comes to pay day. - Ed-] Sound samples 
can also be spooled directly which means your 
host system doesn't need to be crammed to the 
gills with expensive RAM chips in order to play 
back lengthy samples, such as general greetings 
or narrations, What marks MediaPoint out from the 
crowd is its support of external hardware by 
means, of its unique Xapps (external 
Applications} protocol. A Xapp is a code module 
which can be used to control any extra piece of kit, 
the idea presumably being that manufacturers will 
include Xapp files themselves, 

For example, the CDTV Xapp allows control 
over the playback of audio CDs. The CDTV player 
can either be pari of the host hardware (that is, the 
MediaPoint program is running on a CDTV or 
A5DC with A570) or connect via a serial link. For 
example, my A4D00 is linked 10 a CDTV, and with 
MediaPoint I can use my Pink Floyd collection to 
add a synchronised soundtrack to my animations. 
4s- MediaPoint works in its own time system or in 
SMPTE/EBU or MIDI time, synchronisation is 
frame accurate. The scheduling system also 



THE XAPP5 

MediaPoint interlaces with other pieces d) hardware by 
means (if Xapps |or external APPIicaiigns) cods modules. 
Each peripheral require; its own Xapp, which provides con- 
trol over the various lealures. 

Active supply several Xapps as standard . and will hap- 
pily provide details on how to write four own should the 
need arise. 

XAPPS ARE PROVIDED FOR; 

CDTV - provides, control lor playback ol audio CD disks. 
CDXL - plays sound and animation tiles in CDXL (AGA) 
formal 

I OH - controls Ihe Canon RV321 Slill Video Player 
IYZ4 - extensive control over the G VP 246 it graphics sys- 
tem. 

MIDI - plays standard MIDI files 
Studio 16- when used with the SunFrze AD516 ar 
AD1D12, provides CD quality sound (rem hard disk. 
Video Disc/VCR - interlaces (tie Amiga with several com- 
patible video disk and tape players. 



allows specific actions to be carried out at certain 
dates or times. The estate agent's window display 
could display a half price sale for half an hour 
every alternative Thursday at 2am if desired. 

SUCK AND SMOOTH 

Using MediaPoint is a pleasure, and the software 

has a tremendously solid feel about it. Some pro- 
grams simply inspire confidence with their sensible 
menu layouts and clear displays, and this is one of 
them. The sfckness permeates throughout Ihe soft- 
ware, Each new screen image or object can be 
displayed frinough 50 different transitions or wipes, 
Pictures can melt, split and bounce onto the screen 
whilst logos can spin and dissolve. 

Creating flashy business presentations is ridicu- 
lously easy, and it's hard not to get carried away 
and turn the entire episode into a fully fledged news 
program. For low-level control, Ihe scripts gener- 
ated as you dick and drag icons can be edited, or 
even created, with a standard text editor. In this 
way you can ensure your presentation hasn't a 
pixel Out Of place, and making full use of an AGA 



chipset means the pixels look stunning. You donl 
need an AGA A 1 200 or A4000 to use MediaPoint, 
but you will need lots of memory and hard disk 
space. The barest of minimum systems will have 
2Mb of Chip RAM or 1 Mb of Chip FLAM and 2Mb of 
Fast RAM. with Kickstart 2. But any program which 
depends heavily on graphics and sound will work 
best with a hard drive and GMb of memory. The 
(deal system would be a well-equipped A4O0O used 
for authoring the systems, and a A12D0 with a hard 
drive used for displaying them. 

COOL STUFF 

Some particularly cool features which i couldn't for- 
give myself for not mentioning include support for 
CDXL, the animation and sound format originally 
developed for the CDTV player. Now we have the 
AGA chipset, CDXL is going to become even more 
important, and this is one of the few programs to 
support ii. CDXL offers very reasonable live video 
playback without the need lor an MPEG chip, and it 
used property I firmly believe it will revolutionise 
Amiga software. 

I successfully played back some CDXL files 
pinched from a passing CDTV disk, and enjoyed 
the option to quadruple the screen size. But of 
course CDXL support isn'l for everyone - and it 
wont be until there is an inexpensive method of 
capturing the necessary video and sound data. 
However, the facl that it is supported is good news 
tor the Amiga community as a whole, If you create 
3 standalone multimedia terminal using MediaPoint 
(another one ol my ideas, so dont bother) you'll be 
delighted to know that there is an optional comms 
link feature. This means thai as long as the terminal 
is connected to a standard telephone line via a 
modem, you can compleiely revise and update the 
presentation trom the other side ot the world, 
M&diaPoint comes with a free playback module, 
which means you don't need to worry about any 
license arrangements. 

TOO PERFECT? 

Is this the first item of Amiga software to get 1 00 

per cent overall? You might have got that impres- 
sion Inom the previous text, but so as not to insult 



JARGON BUSTERS 



• AGA: The new Ami gas (the A1Z0D, A40D.0 and CD32 r fea- 
ture Ihe 'advanced graphics architecture' chipset, which 
means more colours and higher resolutions 

• ANIM7: The Amiga's IFF standard file format allows for 
internal variations, and that's exactly what ANIMT is. 
Normally animations are saved using the ANIM 5 farm at. 
but with the ndven! of more powerful 32-bit processors 

1 68020 and above). Ihe new ANIM? formal goes a lot 
faster. 

• CDXL: The file format used to package up sound and 
live' video lor playback on the CDTV. Although only a quar- 
ter screen, the quality was acceptable and now, with AGA, 
CDXL is even belter. 

• CDTV: Commodore's Dynamic Tola! Vision was a Flop, 
which maw means you cap pick it up lor a sang and connect 
them to your Amiga as a CD-ROM drive, 

• MED: The only Amiga program Tony Horgan could not 
live without. MED is a music editor which allows songs to 
be constructed from Amiga samples. 

• MIDI: The Musical Instrument Digital Interlace allows an 
Amiga to record, edit and play back sounds from a home or 
slu die keyboard. 

• MPEG: The Motion Piclures Expel Group decided that 
this was the standard used to compress lull mhlion video 
onfoCD-HQMs. 

• Multimedia: Anyihirag pu want. 

• SMPTE: Society ol malign picture and television engi-

tiny imperfections into the lapestry that is 
MediaPoint. Or to put it another way, there are a 
lew bugs and omissions. 

For starters, the sound module playback

ARexx. there are ways around this of course. 
Unfortunately, the MIDI file support is also a little 
suspect- basically it didn't Certainly any MIDI 
file that I created with Bars and Pipes got the 
thumbs down. 

Animation support was also slightly ropy, as 
one of my large animations consistently crashed 
the entire system, as did pressing escape atlhe 
wrong time whilst previewing a screen. I did seem 
to hit the old Recoverable Alert followed by 
Software Failure screen rather too much tor a fin- 
ished program of this price, And why can't the 
mouse pointed on my A40C0 reach more than half 
way across the screen? 

I can forgive these shortcomings because the 
Xapps system means that it's only a matter of time 
before these bugs are fixed - hopefully by the time 
you read this. I can also torgive Activa because of 
the enormous amount of clip art and sound sam-

CONCLUSION 

Just as Real3Dv2 is the ultimate image render- 
ing program, so MediaPoint is the best 
multimedia authoring program around. The sup- 
port lor every tile format under the sun, the easy 
to use icon -based scripting system, and the 
excellent stock of clip art mean that this program 
will take a lot of beating, 

It's amazing that one program could appeal 
to so many users. Demo writers can use 
MediaPoint to create hip and happenin* demos, 
graphics freaks can use the animation spool 
system to record directly to video tape with 
sound effects , and information engineers like 
myself can use MediaPoinj to (hopefully) make 
their fortune. 

Multimedia is where the Amiga has a strong 
hold, and with programs like this, it's only going to 
grow stronger. <£*f

CU AMIGA PRODUCT TEST 



As a CIX user, your 

phone bills are 

probably much 

higher than they 

need to be. Nicola 

can reduce them 

by a massive 

amount, and make 

your CEX usage 

more pleasurable. 



JARGON BUSTERS 



• Binmail- Stands lor Binary Mail. 
Using lite private mail area of CIX you 
can exchange data with other Cixen. This 
can be anything from 50 bytes of code, to 
entire programs occupying 50Mb- Any 
data j except messages) which is 
exchanged via the private mail system is 
known astornroail. 

• Gixen - Collective noun lor CIX users. 

• Conference - An area an CIX where 
people can talk about subjects that come 
under the same general heading. 

■ Download - To transfer data Irom 
anolher computer or on-line service to 
your computer or storage area. 

• Dji-line - To be connected via the 
phono lines by computer (o a bulletin 
board or conferencing service. On-line 
only refers to the lime when your com- 
puter has established a link with the 
□(her terminal. As soon as thai link is 
broken you are considered to be oil-line. 

• On-line- See On-line. 

• Post - The action of making a posting. 

• Posting - A message on a bulletin 
board or conference service. 

• Topic - A subdivision oi a conference. 
Where penple with more specific inter- 
ests go to talk. The Amiga conference 
Includes topics on video, CD3Z. software 
and games, let example. 

• Upload - Transfer data from your com- 
puter to anolher computer (or bulletin 
board.'conle rents service! via the phone. 




In case you're not aware, CIX 
stands for Compulink 
Information exchange, and 
it's one of the biggest bulletin 
board services in Britain, 
Users pay a by- the- minute rate 
for going on-line and talking to 
oiher Cixen (as users are 
called) as well as having access to 
thousands of megabytes of free pro- 
grams and data, ranging from 
games to business programs. 

The trouble with CIX is it's so 
interesting you can easily run up 
huge bills a& you wander around the 
system talking to people and read- 
ing messages. Worse still, you're 
running up not one bill but two: one 
with the phone company and the 
other with CIX management. 

Nicola otters an elegant solution 
to the problem. It lels you do all the 
time-consuming stuff off-line, then 
when you actually log on, it auto- 
matically does everything lor you: 
sending mail, downloading files, 
posting replies and performing all 

the little house-keeping jobs that 
cost so much in phone time. 
The program has a neat 
Workbench 2 front end from which 
you can control all of its numerous 
functions. Before you can use it 
you'll need to configure it both for 
your modem and the way that you 
use CIX. This can be a tricky busi- 
ness, but if you already log onto CIX 
using NComm most of the work has 
been done for you because you can 
simply import your NComm settings

TIME FOR A BROWSE 

One of Nicola s handy features Is the Conference Browser, which shows you an entire list ol 
the conference available. The lisl is. subdivided into related subjt els which you can scroll 
through using the mouse. When you reach a subject (hat interest; you, click on it. and all 
Conferences related to thai subject will be shown io Ihe browser's lower window. Click on a 
conference name and you can jnin it the next lime you are on-line.

into the program. I 

suggest that if you 
are are brand new to 
CIX, you learn how 
to log on using NComm first; in that 
way you're not tackling two new and 
relatively complex environments 
simultaneously. 

Another part of the set-up proce- 
dure involves entering your unique 
registration details in the 
form of an ASCII file. This is 
imported into the program 
where it validates Ihe pro- 
gram so that it can be used. 
The actual program itself is 
already on CIX and can be 
found in the Files topic of the 
Nicola conference from 
where it can be freely down- 
loaded- Better yet, so 
confident is its publisher that you'll 
warn to continue using the program, 
you can even obtain a licence: which 
lets you use it free of charge lor a 
month, after which you must pay the 
£34.99 registration fee. 

Once Nicola is ready to run you 
can sei up your preferences for the 
program, specifying everything from 
your CIX password, to the way the 
program prints. This is done via a 
series of menu items in - surprise, 
surprise -the Preferences menu. 

With the program running you 
can choose to view the messages in 
two ways. The default is the com- 
mand line window which tries to 
emulate the CIX parser. This means 
that it you're used to Ihe way that 
CIX works, the transition to Nicola 
will be relatively useless, Mind you, 
that's just as well because the man- 



ual that comes with Nicola, despite 
being well-written, is very poor for 
beginners, being more of a techni- 
cal reference than a lake you by 
the hand' guide. 

At the top of the screen is a jam- 
packed menu bar, whilst the main 
portion is occupied by the confer- 
ence window. At the bottom of the 
conference window there's a cursor 
ready for you to enter commands, 
and the righl-hand side of the win- 
dow is occupied by a scroll bar that 
lets you view any previous mes- 



DON'T FORGET... 

It you're one ot those people who always comes up 
with a willy reply hall an hour loo late, nm lo worry, 
Hicola't got that covered thanks to its 'to Do' lisl. If at 
any time whilst your reading a message you want to 
comment on it, but can't do so immediately {perhaps 
you need lo research your answer, or you're simply 
loo busy) then you can easily mark the message To 
do'. It will then he added lo a special list of messages 
which you can check when you ' re ready lo resp on d . 



sages that you may have looked at 
in the current session. 

Nicda understands the same 
basic command set as CIX, so you 
can use JOIN to join a conference, 
SWITCH lo change topics and $0 
on. When you want to log on to CIX. 
you'll need to use the CONNECT 
option, 

Once this is selected Nicola 
automatically logs on to CIX for you. 
and goes through the entire entry 
procedure, giving your User ID and 
password when required, It then 
goes into your private mail area and 
grabs any messages left for you, as 
well as sending any you have writ- 
ten. After that it joins any 
conferences to which you're joined 
and posts any replies you wish to 
make. Then it reads every unread 
message in every conference of

Nicofa's CDnlerertce Browser is i unique 
Option (Nat lets you p«ruM th* 1,000* eonler- 

which you're a member. These mes- 
sages will then be downloaded. If 
you've requested any tiles or binmail 
to be downloaded, it will be done 
automatically. 

Having downloaded your binmail 
and new messages, Nicola wiH pre- 
pare your message base with what's 
known as a parse. It checks all the 
messages it has downloaded then 
arranges Ihem in your preferred read- 
ing order, 

For example, you can use whal's 
known as a 'boring people filter' to 
automatically remove messages Irom 
people you dgn'1 like. 

Finally, you can also decide the 
conference order in which your mes- 
sages are- displayed as well as the 



SEARCH AND RESCUE 

If you're joined to even a moderate number of confer- 
ences, toil can very easily waste hours each day 
reading useless information.. II you preler lo slick purely 
to sub[ecls which interest you, you might like lo use 
Nicola's powerful search options. Using either specific 
search criteria (find any message containing Ihe words 
Am i ga g am es > or w i I dcards f N nil a ny message conlRin 
ing the letters 'Ami ' a r ' G a' , you can search the curre nl 
topic, conference or even your entire database. 



subject under the sun. 

The program does have some 
stupid little bugs but, because you 
pay for a lifetime licence, you can 
simply download new versions when 
they become available. 

It's going to make a major impact 
on my phone bills and CIX charges 



GET ADDRESSED 

Whenever you receive mail from anyone 
the program lakes Iheir electronic address 
as well as their CIX ID and adds it to your 
address honk automatically. 

II you want to. you can manually add to 
this information, their tax number and hill 
postal address. 

This makes it an ideal way nl main- 
taining an up-lo-date list ol people lo 
whom you've spoken privately. 



because my on-line time has 
dropped Irom 30 minutes a day to 
less than five. Its unique 
options mean I get the 
most out of my membership 
to CIX, and I feel thai the 
service has become far 
more productive now thart it 
ever was, 

A really nice, well con- 
sidered product which is a 
joy to use. 



r^ — ■ 



read-type. Most people prefer to use 
the Reference option which lets you 
read messages in threads rather 
than the order in which they were 
posted, but the choice is yours. 

Once Nicola has parsed your 
messages, they are added lo a 
database which is pruned to keep it 
to a user-definable size. 

So, for example, you could specily 
that it stores any messages in the 
Amiga conference for 31 days, whilst 
those in the auction (which is more 
active} should only be kept for seven . 

The real beauty of fine program is 
the options it offers Biat C1X doesn't. 
For example, you can choose to 
attach a toolbar to several of (he win- 
dows, including the conference 
window. This means you can perform 
all activities from reading messages |o 
downloading files using the mouse. 

It took me months before I got 
around to getting hold of Nicola, but 
now that I have it's as important to 
me as wings are to a bird! It means 
thai I can finally read and comment 
on all of the new messages in my 
conferences without the pressure of 
being on-line. 

The down side to that is that I 
now spend hours each day reading 
and responding to postings on every

PRODUCT TEST CU AMIGA 







Jason 

Holborn 

checks out 

Power's new 

Primera colour 

printer. 



Choosing a printer that's right 
for you can be a minefield for 
the uninitiated - do you buy a 
dot malrix, an inkjet or a laser 
printer? Each has its own unique 
strengths and weaknesses. Dot 
matrix primers are cheap but low in 
quality. Lasers give- great results 
out are expensive to buy, expensive 
:□ run and (unless you've gol a lew 
thousand pounds to spare) mono 
only. Inkjets are perhaps Ihe best 
compromise, although even top-ot- 
the-range inkjets olten leave a lot do 
be desired when printing pictures. 

Choosing a colour printer ir, 
even more complicated. Colour dot matrix printers 
often bleed colour, and colour inkjet printouts can 
look rather washed out. 

Power Computing have siepped into the foray 
with Ihe release of the Primera, a Ihermal printer 
manufactured by a little known US- based company 
called Fargo. MqsI of us associate thermal printers 
with the horrible little Sinclair printer that Spectrum 
users used to be so proud ol, but the Primera is a 
totally different bucket of bolts altogether. Thermal 
transfer printing has moved on a long way since 
the black (chunky) text on silver toilet paper that 
Sinclair's ottering used to ernploy. 

The Primera is based around the latest thermal 
transfer technology that uses a wax-based ink rib- 
bon (actually, it's more like a rolf ot cling-film) 
which can print on to plain paper or film. Heat From 
the print head transfers Ihe ink on the ribbon in 
pjxel patterns directly on to the paper. The result is 
a Full-colour print out that is considerably brighter 
and bolder than the sort of colour print outs you'd 
expeut from either an inkjet or a dot matrix. 

Although (he Primer a" Pras been designed for 
PC-compatibles (Fargo even include a Windows 
driver with the printer), Power convinced them that 
an Amiga driver would be a damned good idea and 
Fargo came up with the goods in the form of a 
standard preferences printer driver that will allow 
the Primera to be driven by just about any program 
including DPaini snd Professional Page. This is 
included at no extra cost, so you can start printing 
almost immediately. 

The quality of print outs even Irom the basic 
Primera is a sigh! to behold. Gone are the bleeding 
colours and horizontal banding associated with 
more conventional colour printers. Pnmera's print- 
outs are bold and toll of vibrant dolour. Available 
tor an extra £21 S is an upgrade which gives the 
Primera true colour printing or - as Fargo would 
call it - photo reafelic printing. Although the review 
model we were sent lacked this add-on, Power 
were kind enough to provide me with a number of 
samples and the quality has to be seen to be 
believed, j& v 

With virtually no sign of dithering, the Photo- 
realistic Primera is capable of producing colour 
prints that are on par with those you see in maga- 
zines like CD AMIGA. Indeed, you'd probably be 
hard pushed to tell the difference between a 
Primera printout and a professionally colour sepa- 




rated image p-reduced by an expensive Web-offset 
press fine type ol printing press used to print CU 
AMIGA!). 

In many ways, Ihe Primera has an awful lot in 
common with a professional printing press. Just 
like the printet^jjsed to print CU AMIGA, it works 
|by colour separating, the image and Ihen printing 
the page in three passes— one for yellow, one for 
magenta and one lor cyan. Each time- -n :;o oration 
is printed, the printer drags the page back to the 
start and then prints the next separation over the 
top, automatical/ mixing colours in Ihe process. 
It's pretty impressivi; lc watch and quite noisy too. 

Also available is a tour colour ribbon that can 
print a black separation, giving bocer shades ot 
grey. Primera can handle mono prints too. via a 
separate monochromr! ribbon. ^^. 

The only real problem with the Primera ajts 
running costs. The 'starter' ribbon bundled with the 
printer will only handle 30 colour pages and once 
that's used up you have to buy another, which will 
set you back a further £38-95. Even this ribbon will 
only handle 1 1S prints (or just 80 it you buy the 
four colour ribbon). And even then you have to use 
special paper which costs £18 for 200 sheets. If 
you use the Primera for photo-realistic printing (via 
the E215 upgrade), the cost of ribbons shoots up 
even further - £79.95 for a ribbon capable of just 
25 prints or £250 tor 1 DO prints. I' you calculate the 
cost of each sheet taking into consideration the 
price of both the ribbon and the: pappr, you're look- 
ing at 42p per print out. P ho lu- realistic printouts 
work out at a- amazing E3 30 each! 



Technology this advanced doesn't come cheap 
and the Primera certainly isn't a cheap printer to 
either purchase or run. As a result, it s nol the sort 
ol printer that will suit the average DPainl fanatic. 
Sure, wed all love to own a printer capable of such 
brilliant results, but the high running costs would 



probably cripple even the most affluent. If, on the 
other hand, you use your Amiga professionally tor 
anything from DTP {PfoPage printouts are particu- 
larly impressive!) to business presentations, 
Primera is the best colour printer available tor 
under £1,000! s?h

One thing I noticed when reviewing this little 
RAM accelerator lor the A1 200 was how 
difficult it was to tit. In the days of the 

A500, trapdoor expansions could slide in easier 



than a Ferrero Rocher into my mouth. The 

A1 200 : on the other hand, requires half an hour 
of swearing, creaking and ripping the skin off your 
fingers. In the end. though. I got it in, and I have 



to say I'm quite glad I did. To explain why r I'll 
need to tell you about the capabilities of the thing 

Power have already released the A 1204, so 
what's so different about this one? Well, for a 
start it takes SIMMs, which means you can buy 
the extra memory anywhere. And, unlike most 
trapdoor expansions, it can take BMb SIMMs 
without locking up the PCMCIA card slot* It also 
contains a battery- backed clock, a space for an 
FPU (it can take any kind, is not restricted to a 
particular speed, and it won't conflict with any 
software). Even so, you can still switch it oft via a 
jumper - but then you can also switch oft the 
memory with a single tftck. 

With so many different configurations, you'd 
expect the prices to fluctuate a little. But with the 
bare board costing as little as £69.95. the 
1 2Q&+33MH2 Co-Pro and 2Mb of RAM costing 
£199.99. and the high-end 120B+5oMHz Co-Pro 
and 8Mb RAM costing only £530.95. the unit rep 
resents great value tor money. 

So what does this mean tor the end user? it 
you want to expand the capabilities of your 
machine, and want to keep on building, then 
check out something like the forthcoming GVP 
A1 230 II. But it you just want to improve your 
machine's performance, then this is probably the 
most system-friendly way of doing it, '^

^% dentists have been playing God tor years,

^iJP own little digital Universe thanks to 
MegaGem. The advent of computer graphics 
rought about a revolution as scientists, learnt that 
iey could not only use the computer for large 
cale calculations, they could even see the 
suits in an easy-to-comprehend form. 

Of course the first examples of this were bur- 
g old graphs and charts. But it wasn't long 
before a less up-tight computer user designed a 
program called Ut&, Life was partly an entertain- 
ng distraclion and partSy a serious attempt to 
model the life cycle of simple organisms living 
under very strictly controlled condition :=. 

Each organism is represented by a square 
pixel which can have up to eight neighbours. 
"he exact number of neighbours determines 
what the organism will do. 

For example, too many neighbours and the 
organism will die from over-crowding, too few 
and it dies of loneliness. By the same token, 
new organisms can spontaneously spring to life 
f a dormant pixel is surrounded by two neigh- 
bours (mummy and daddy). 

The entire Life simulation revolves around two 
simple rules, yet it's absolutely fascinating to see 
how various starting conditions {the arrangement 
of dormant and live organisms) can produce 
vastly different and intriguing results. 

Life spawned an entire classification of com- 
puter programs known as cellular automata, 
whose sole purpose is to model miniature bio- 
spheres, CeliPro provides you with an Amiga 
version of Lite, but it also offers five other cellular

simple, consisting purely of rules involving neigh- 
bours and the status of the cell whose tutuna is 
being decided, the diversity of effects, that is pos- 
sible is absolutely amazing. 

Before you automate a colony, you'll need to 
set the starting conditions. This is done by load- 
ing an IFF screen from disk, Havrng done SO, you 
select the type Of living conditions you want to 
apply, and away you go. The screen will be filled 
with a seething or bubbling or drooping or a tech- 
nicoloured mass of organisms all fighting tor 
survival in their own unique way. 

tt seems that most types of automations even- 
tually result in a stable colony, where either the 
same patterns of life and death are endlessly 
duplicated in short recognisable patterns, or 
where nothing appears to move at all, Seme 
colonies are even a combination of both. 

When you tire of the supplied IFF screens and 
types of automata, you can design your own. 
based on either a lour or eight pixel grid. The 
smaller grid reduces the number of organisms 
thai influence each oiher. 

CONCLUSION 

As an experimental and educational tool, CeffPro 
is very useful. However, I wouldn't like you to 
think that just because it has educational value it 
must be boring - far from i|. CgflPro is a fasci- 
nating and thoroughly absorbing taste of the 
science of cellular automata, It's rather expen- 
sive, and that reflects Ihe work which has gone 
into the program and the more serious uses to 
whjch it can be put. I would have liked to have 
seen a drawing and magnify function built into 
the program. But apart from thai I liked it. :

PRODUCT TEST CU AMIGA 



SEAGATE 80MB 
IDE HARD DRIVE 

Everyone wants a hard drive. Whatever your bag, whether it's music, 
video. DTP, programming or trout farm management, a hard drive will 
make your existence a tot more bearable. Just think... no more 
searching through pites otdiste to locate thai rare Peruvian monkfteri. Never 
again will your only disk containing your potential number one hit tall down 
the all-engulfing black hole behind the desk. And you can kiss goodbye to 
the dreaded 'cat peed on my favourite disk' syndrome. The trouble is, now 
that everyone wants one, everyone's selling them in all shapes and sizes 
(well, not quite all shapes I've yet to see one in the shape of an individual 
Mr Kiphng apple pie - but give it time). 

This particular example comes in the shape of a 2.5"' IDE hard drive. It 
fits into the internal IDE interface of any A&00 or A1 200. This means Itiat 
you'll have to take the cover off your computer to get the drive in, which will 
invalidate your warranty. If your Amiga still has a good stretch left on its war- 
ranty, it may be a better idea to get a drive fitted by one of Commodore's 
officially recommended hard drive installers, such as ZCL. Otherwise, 
there's no reason why you shouldn't go ahead and do it yourself. 

Connecting the Seagate is just a matter of opening up the Amiga's outer 
casing and plugging the drive into the bus on the circuit board. A short rib- 
bon is included to make the connection. Installing is just about as simple as 
can be. A very straightforward installation program comes with the drive, 
with plain instructions on how to prepare and partition it. A simple sfider Is 
used to select the balance of disk space that you want to allocate to your 
boot partition and the main workspace. It's then up lo you SO copy Over the 
relevant version of Workbench. Speed-wise, it clocks around 400K per sec- 
ond according to Syslnfo, which is just about par for the course for a 2.5" 
IDE drive. 

If you're not bothered about invalidating your warranty, and Speed isn't a 
major concern, this could be a very good buy. It's not nearly as fast as some 
other drives (Software Demon's Overdrive wipes the floor with it on that 
count}, but it's cheap, and it works! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a 
Japanese trout to locate...

Drop shadows and complex logos are very simple to produce 
The CU AMIGA logo ua* created using Final Write?* powerful 
iirtl bo* facility. 



r 

Just like a DTP program , Float Writer al lows you to room in on 
your page, ao you can quickly ehaeK »ny particular section ol at 
your layout, 



The Amiga certainly has its fare share of high 
powered software packages - Deluxe Paint 
IV AG A, Art Department Professional and 
Real3D k?.0 are just three examples. Indeed, you'd 
be hard pushed to find programs to rival them on 
[he Mac or PC, But the Mac and PC nave their 
share of industry standards too. 

Where these iwo machines really excel is with 
serious applications like databases, spreadsheets 
and word processors. Sure, Pretext on the Amiga 
i$ a very powerful package. But pur it next to In/ontf 
for Windows on the PC and you'll soon realise why 
many people wanting a platform for such programs 
tend to choose Macs or PCs rather than Amigas. 

With the launch of Final Writer tram Softwood, 
however, the gap could finally be closing. Final 
rVrff&ris Ihe first of a new generation of high-pow- 
ered packages designed to take on and win against 
high-profile Mac and PC-based word processors. 

Softwood have been writing Amiga word pro- 
cessors longer than most ot us care to mention, 
and Final Writer demonstrates beautifully the expe- 
rience they've gained, Building upon the success of 
Softwood's earlier products, Pen Paf and Final 
Copy, even its name suggests Final Writer is the 
ultimate Amiga word processors. 

The competition may not be so stiff in the 
Amiga marketplace with programs like Wordwoith 
£and Excellence! providing the only challenge, but 
can Softwood honestly hope to compete against 
the Mac and PC heavyweights? 

BIG IS BEAUTIFUL 

H there's one thing thai Fins! Writer- doos have in 
common with its Mac and PC cousins, it has to be 
its over-ihe-lop system requirements, Unless 
you've got an Amiga with al least 1.5Mb of RAM 
and a hard disk. Final Writer won't even run. And 
even then, you're going to need at least 9,5Mb of 
hard disk space to install it! 

If hard disk space is tight you can install a cut- 
down version of the Final Writer package that takes 
up a mere 2.5Mb! But even in its cut-down form 
Final Writer is one of the biggest applications to 
grace an Amiga hard disk. 

These system requirements may seem rathe' 
steep, but Final Writer is a lot more than just a texr J 
processor like Amor's Protext, It is another of the 
new breed of 'word publishers' that have prove;': 
popular with Amiga users. Softwood themselves 
coined the phrase when Pen Par was originaily 
released back in 1389,, and it has since taeen 
accepted as jargon for a word processor that a 
features DTP-like page controls. 

Whereas a normal word processor will allow 
you to process text, the format of thai text is bI 
very strict - a single full-width column of text, 
printed using the fonts built into your printer. A

PRODUCT TEST CU AMIGA 



word publisher, on the other hand, allows you to 
produce documents compete with pictures and 
multiple font styles without assuming that you own 
an expensive laser printer. 

BUTTON MOON 

Even Final Writer's front end is a cut above the 
rest. If you already own Final Copy 2, then you 
should feel instantly at home, as Final Writer's 
front end is very similar. The only major difference 
is the two rows Of buttons along the top of ttie 
screen. Final Copy 2 had its own buttons, but 
Softwood have really gone to town with the buttons 
on Final Writer. 

Each of these buttons perlorrns a particular 
task. All the usual buttons to justify text and so on 
are there. Bui quite a lew of the functions normally 
found in the Final Writer pull-down menus have 
been moved down lo the button bar as well, Simply 
by clicking on the appropriate button, you can per- 
form common word processing tasks such as 
cutting i, copying and pasting blocks ot lext without 
ever having to search through the program's pull- 
down menus. 

Nothing special so far, but: Final Writer's but- 
tons are tar from ordinary. As Softwood have gone 
to great lengths to explain, the great thing about 
these buttons is thai they are fully configurable, 
Each one can be changed to suit your own word 
processing needs, and there are an additional 
seven strips of burtons which you can flick through 
with a single mouse click. 

Defining a button is simple. All you do is select 
the button strip you want to edit, select a button 
image that suits your na-eds (don't worry, there are 
plenty to choose from I), and then drop il down into 
the position that you'd like it to appear. The buttons 
are nothing more than generic images, so it's up to 
you to assign a task to them. 

Final Writer allows you to assign one of four dif- 
ferent types of operation to a butlon - an Arexx 
script, a text clip, a Final Writer menu operation or 
a string command. Being able to assign an Arexx 
script to a button is perhaps Ihe most powerful ol 



all these operations. It gives you the ability to pro- 
gram Final Writer so that complex operations that 
would normally require many steps can be carried 
out with a single mouse click. 

Final Writer's Arexx implementation certainly 
isnt weak either. Virtually every operation you 
could possibly want to carry out can be performed 
automatically via Arexx. Using the string command 
operation gives you access to Final Writer's Arexx 
commands too, although only one command can 
be assigned to each button. 



Once you've configured Final Writer to suit your 
needs, it's time to get stuck into some serious doc- 
ument processing. At its simplest level, Final Writer 
can be used as nothing more than a straight text 
processor. Just like Protext, you can mark sections 
ottext. cut, copy and then pasie the block down 
anywhere in your document, Add to this ils power- 
ful search and replace functions and you've gat the 
makings of a decent text processor. 

Softwood certainly don't seem to believe in 
being average. Final Writers predecessor, Final 
Copy 2, was cnticised for lacking advanced word 
processing functions like the automatic generation 
of tables ol contents, bibliographies, end-notes, 
indexing and so on. Softwood have answered 
these criticisms by building all of these functions 
into Final Writer. 

Final Writer also sports a very impressive Spell 
checker and thesaurus, both of which use the 
same Proximity /Collins Linguabase dictionaries 
used by Protext. Many word processors of 
American origin fall down on this all-important 
addition. So it's very nice to see that Softwood 
have seen fit to cater for the needs of UK Amiga 
users. The spell checker, which includes medical 
and legal entries, offers over 1 10,000 entries, 
And the thesaurus isn't bad either, with over 
826,000 synonyms. 

Final Writer's spell checker and thesaurus 
should keep even the most prolific of word benders 
happy. Even withoufthe added benefits that a

word publishing program delivers, Final Wrifgr 
could easily stand against the competition on the 
strength of these word processing functions alone. 

PICTURE THIS! 

Processing raw tent is an important feature ol any 
word processors. But what really makes Final 
Writer different from traditional word processors is 
its word publishing features. The word publisher is 
certainly noting new. but Final tVriferbturs the fine 
line between word processing and desktop pub- 
lishing stil! further, giving you even more DTP-like 
features, No longer are you restricted to a single 
column of text on your pages. Final Writer will hap- 
pily divide the page into six newspaper-like 
columns with automatic text flow control. 

Pictures can be pulled into your documents too. 
Final Writer supports both IFF and encapsulated 
PostScript {EPS} structured images which can be 
displayed either as a blank picture box, as a 
monochrome preview, or in full colour. If you own an 
AGA-based Amiga, Final Wriferfully supports the 
new screen modes provided by ihe AGA chip set, 
so pictures can be displayed on screen in up to 256 
colours, Running Final rVriterin 256 colours does 
slow it somewhat, particularly when your documents 
become more complex.

TIP TOP TYPE 

Fonts are particularly well handled in Final Writer. Apart 
from its very close Wttttl Final Copy 2, Final Writer is still 
the oily Amiga word processor thai fully supports 
PostScript Adobe Type 1 fouls. Type! font support may 
seem a rather strange move when you consider the popu- 
larity nt the AGFA^ompugraphle standard on the Amiga. 
8 nl Ms certainly a good thing wllh hundreds ol Type 1 
tents available through the Amiga public domain libraries 
for little more than Iha price of a disk. 

Com pu graphic fonts are still rather hard to obtain, and 
you'll have to pay through the nose for them. So it comes 
as no surprise that Softwood hate turned their hacks on the 
"official' Amiga outline font standard. 

They certainly haven't skimped an the number of fonts 
they bundle with the program either. Counting through Ihe 
bulging directory the Final Writer installation program cre- 
ated on my fll20fl's hard disk, Final Wrilet comes with no 
less than 1 1D free tarts In a nomher of dWerent typefaces. 
These range Iromthe usual Helvetica. Times and Avante 
Garde'lonts to more unusual examples such as Japanetle 
Ian oriental -looking font) and Yorkshire, a very stylish 
freehand font. 

Final Writer gives you extensive control over the lest in 
your document. As well as Ihe usual point si le {Final 
Writer supports paint sizes Up to 3EQ point'), style, colour 
and font controls, you can also adjust the leading amount 
(the gap between lines) and horizontal width llor stretch- 
ing ten). And you can even slant {shear) lext, giving you 
much heller control when italicising s fonl. And. because

Final Writer also provides A page preview leaning which produces a scaled representation of your page, 



» EPS support is particularly well implemented. 
Even if the EPS file does not have a bitmap 
header, Final Writer will still allow you to view it on 
scr&en in full colour 

Even Professional Page didn't have this fea- 
ture until recently, so it's nice to see that 
Softwood are keeping up with the Joneses! 
Just like its predecessors. Final Writer gives 

PRINTS CHARMING 

Your page may look nice on screen, hut it's of in use what- 
soever unless ynu can transler thai quality Id paper. 
Thanhlully, Final Writet doesn't tail lure eilhar. Nul only 
can you prim to any standard preference -sup ported printer 
with Ihe sort ol qualify results you'd normally especl imm 
ProPage, but Final Write/also provides direct support lor 
PostScript printing. Softwood have certainly gone to lown on 
Final Writer's PostScript implementation wilti lull support 
lor thumbnails, page scaling and crop (registration) marks. 
Float Wf iter provides two forms ol preference printing - 
final and drall. If you print in final mode, the entire docu- 
ment is primed in exactly lite same way as a DTP program 
wilh all the lonls and graphics buill up as a massive bitmap 
which is sent to the printer as a screen dump. In drall mode, 
however, only Ihe graphics are generated by Final Wtitsr. 
The tort within your document is printed using ynur printer's 
own internal lonls. This gives a much faster printing time, 
but the results can Ionic a little weird to &ay the least. 



you extensive control over your pictures. You can 
scale them lo your heart's content, and it's possi- 
ble to contour text around a bitmapped image 
simply by setting the background colour to trans- 
parent mode. 

Also, just like a DTP program, you're given full 
control over the "text stand off setting (how close 
the text flows around the image). 

BOX CLEVER 

One of the nicest leatures unique lo Final Writer is Ihe 
'texlbox'. These text boxes are very similar to the lext 
bones In Sotl-Looie s PageStream DTP program. Although 
each lent box thai yoo create is limited to i single, short 
line ol lexl, the text you put in a text box is kept completely 
separate Iram your document's main copy. 

What's mure, the text Inside the box tan be stretched 
and shrunk horizontally and vertically simply by dragging 
the 'handles' on Ihe lour paints ol Ihe box. 

These lent boxes come In particularly handy when you 
want lo create a massive logo using outline text. Instead of 
hairing In work but the exact horizontal scale and point sire 
pi your heading, you can simply drag the heading's lexl 
box to Ihe shape you wanl and Fins! Writer will automati- 
cally adjust its size. Clever eh and saves you a lot ol lime 
and energy liddting about!

CONCLUSION 

Final Copy 2, Final Writer's predecessor, was 
heralded as aboui as close to being a desktop 
publisher as a word processor dare go when we 
reviewed it back in the April issue of CU AMIGA. 
I! seems that Softwood have managed to push 
back the boundaries still further without losing 
sight of the program's word processing origins. 
They have made Final Writers more capable 
word publisher and one hell of a word processor 
too! Indeed, if you were to judge Pinal Writer on 
its word processing capabilities alone, it would 
still earn its top rating with flying colours! 

Final Writer certainly isn't the answer to every- 
one's word processing and word publishing 
needs. If you're a professional writer who can live 
without the fancy page layout controls Ihe pro- 
gram has to offer then a dedicated word 
processing program tike Protext is still possibly a 
better bet. 

Even if you do want a word publisher, Final 
Writer's system requirements may force many to 
go for a less capable program, 

If you do have a machine that can handle 
Final Writer's requirements, an accelerated 
Amiga is a must - even on my A4fJ0 n /030, Final 
Writer started to drag ils heels when working with 
complex, pages containing lots of pictures. Try it 
on an A500 or A600 and you'll be waiting all day 
for the screen lo update! 

This would certainly be a great shame 
because you'll be missing out on what is undoubt- 
edly the Amiga's most powerful word publishing 
program. Wordworth 2 AGA comes close, but 
Final Writer is better on nearly every front, raw 
text processing, graphics handling, printing, font 
control etc. 

Indeed, there are considerably few aspects of 
Final Wrtfevthat are anything less than excep- 
tional. On an accelerated machine. FirWr Writer \s

^iynrAMBull'texlniBv 



Last month in the psaudo- regular 
3D spot, the 'fTjagme-oompaH- 
ble program Essence made a 
colourful appearance wilh some 
lovely organic tenures. This month 
we're back to soma less up-to-date 
rendering technology with some 
good old-fashioned bitmaps. 

II Ihere is one problem with the 
procedural textures such as those 
generated by Essence, it's the tact 
that sometimes it can be hard to 
create a particularly natural scene. 

not knocking Essence, but 
there is still a case for some good 
bitmapped textures - especially if 
you dabble wtth Real 3D rather 
than Imagine.. 

Getting hold ol suitable imaj 
can be a bit of a problem, because 
ft yoy are trying to produce top- 
notch images the bitmaps need lo 
be extremely clear and colourful. In 
the pass I've had limited access to 
a professional artwork company's 
scanning facilities and the results from ordinary 
colour photos are simply astonishing. The test of 
a good mage is to render it in 16 colours - if it 
still looks good, then it's good enough to use in 
* images, 

Unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to 
know my male Dan, (he scanner operator, which 
means not everyone can get hold of profession- 
ally-scanned images. 

The alternative? Alternative, of course - the UK 
company synonymous wilh Amiga image render- 
ing, Alternative are offering volume two of a 
1 2-disk set of textures ready for you to play wilh in 
your favourite rendering program, supplied neatly 
packed into a video cassette box, Each disk con- 
tains only one texture, but before you start 
complaining about value for money, the disks are 









Texture twehdos* - Ifrjt image shows ;us1 lour of the dozr-

with memory to burn (or at least 2Mb of Fasl r

well endowed there are HAM and 8-cobyr IFF 

An image suitable for bump mapping i- 
included. No matter what rendering program or 
Amiga you use : there wili be at least one form of 
each picture you can use. 

100% NATURAL 

The textures concentrate on natural surface 
you'll lind plenty of marble and stone finis* 
perfect for adding a bit of reflection and spe;. 
fly and being used as floors and table tops. Of 
course, the best part of image rendering is i 
ordinary things in different ways, and it's wi

TEXTURES: BITMAPPED OR PROCEDURAL? 

Most 3D rendering programs oiler a way of controlling Itie appearance a) an abject by 
adding a leiture. Often IhetexUirels 'bitmapped', which is lo say it's nothing more than a 
picture ere ale J wilh a paint program or digitise*. 

Programs such as Imap/ne ami /tea/ 3JJ also allar procedural textures, which create (he 
finish by means at maiherriinical formula. The advai?lape of procedural texlures is lhal very 
little memory is required -all the tfel a its are generated 'on (he fly' pixel fay pixel. Although 
capable ol creating same stunning results, it is often Ihe ease lhal a more natural or realis- 
tic leiture is required. In these situations, ynu cant heal a well-drawn or digitised bitmap. 

Tite disadvantage with bitmaps is lhal they can consume a lol ol memory very quickly, 
It's only possible lo use half a dozen 24-blt lertures In an image before an Amiga with 8Mb 
of RAH keels over.

packed with projects which will help new-comers 
get to grips with some of the more tricky parts of 
Imaging - an eseellent idea, and one which helps 
lo overcome ihe truly abysmal manual imaging 
comes with. 

CONCLUSION 

The textures are ihe main focus of the kit, and, 
lo be honest, I was a little disappointed with 
their quality All the images seemed to be digi- 
tised at a Igirly high resolution, but there is a 
slight but definite colour cast and a lading 
towards the edges. 

After looking at some of the images taken 
from PhotoCDs and professional scanners, I 
have to say I've seen a lot better. I wouldn't feel 
particularly happy about using them as- backdrops 
for multimedia presentations as suggested, espe- 
cially as the limited size (400*400 maximum) 
means overscan is a no-no. 

However, when put to their primary use as 
bitmapped textures in rendering programs, any 
flaws are quickly forgotten. All rendered scenes 
wilt be improved beyond measure by the addition 
of some realistic textures and that's exactly what 
Alternative offer by the dozen, Apparently, vol 
u me 3 of the growing set of textures is in the 
offing, and Ihfe lime the images will be full over- 
scan and JPEGed, Even better, there will be a 
large collection of Real 3D objects from 
Alternative's own library - and we'll bring you a 
review as soon as we get it.

Although the Amiga IFF standard works very the major programs which means it could come 
well for swapping images and sounds, there in very handy some day ct/ 

isn't a standard way of swapping 
objects between rendering program - a 
spaceship created with Imagine cannot 
be directly loaded into Real 3D and 
vice versa. 

The big problem is thai Real 3D 
works differently from other rendering 
programs in the way it constructs 
objects from primitive shapes (cubes, 
spheres and so on), stretched and 
tweaked in various ways. Most other 
rendering programs use triangular or 

polygonal facets 10 make Up the Objects W last I C»n load all my Tavtourtte Imagine -objects ant) re-save lh*n di»ec%

the two forms is difficult, but not impossible - BVC "BA 

after all. Real comes with s program which con- 
verts Sculpt objects, 

PixPro doesn't come with such an option, 
which means a two stage operation in any 
translation. The good news is that OBI will save 
Real 3D objects but the bad news is that it 
won't load the them. This means there is still a 
gap in the market for the perfect image render- 
ing program.

Fl RACER V2.0 

game 

Lummochs* This is a bit tasty, and no mistake. 
Until someone decides to convert Virtua Raang 
DO the Amiga, this could bathe closest you'll 
come to it without playing the real thing. 

Well, it's not exactly a carbon copy of VR. To 
be honest, it's quite a way behind Iff? in terms ol 
breath-taking scenery. But it you don't mind los- 
ing the canyons and suspension bridges, this 
should be right up your pitlane. On a 1 200, it 
clocks up a slithery-smooth 50 frames per sec- 
ond lor a good deal of the game! Even on a 500 
it's pretty pacey. Like VR, you get a view from 
the cockpit that can be zoomed out as you hur- 
tle round the track to reveal a couple of rear 
'chase plane' views. The cockpit view is the 
fastest, and you even get [he driver's animated 
hands on the steering wheel for extra realism. 
There are also a couple more views - one that 
follows the car from the trackside. and another 
that looks back towards the car from the from. 

There's a full game in there too, complete 
with practice laps, qualification and pitstops. tf 
that isn't enough, simulalion fans can get their 
rocks off on all sorts ot wing adjustment and 
gear ratio options. Alternatively, mindless boy 
racers can drive the wrong way round the track 
and see how many opponents they can write oft. 
I suppose this should finish with a Murray Walker 
joke, but I can't think of one nght now. Sorry 
folk$.

I won't go into too much detail with this one, as it's 
another of the many good Jesus on Es-inspired 
demos wilhoul much new on offer {dated hardcore 
soundtrack with strobes and wobbly colour pat- 
terns'), but it does have a nice user mode at the end.

music plays in the background - more of this in

TIME RUNNERS 

Looking strangely commercial. Trme Runners is a 
weird arcade adventure with some surprisingly 
good graphics tor a PD game. Don't ask me what 
the plot's all about- let's ]usl say it's something to 
do with space. Anyway, it's a combination of 
adventure-type conversations and sd on. com- 
plete with nice full-screen graphics showing 
locations and characters, and arcade-style sec- 
tions. I'd imagine this was originally intended for 
commercial release, as it's obviously had a lot 
more time spent on it than most PD games- Even 
so, it's not the most addictive arcade adventure 
I've played, but it passes the time better than a 
morning with Anne and Nick.

Hailed as a rival to I he renowned ray tracer 
Tobias Richter. the man responsible for our 
November issue's Frontier Elite //cover, Mark 
Plans has compiled this iwo-disk set of shiny Slar 
Trek Next Generation space scenes, Tobias 
needn't worry though, as there's quite a bit of 
work to be done on these before they reach his 
standards. Star Trek The Next Generation is the 
theme, so you can expect pictures of all your 
favourite trekkie spaceships. Some of the pic- 
tures suffer from a strangely distorted 
perspective, and the colour schemes are often 
overdone, but (here are still some good pics on 
show for tracers or trekkers,

TROOP JUGERNORT PART 1 

Interactive 



imif 

Anyone remember Comics- that brilliant interac- 
tive comic game on the C64? Well, this isn't 
anywhere near as good, I'm afraid- It's basically a 
partially animated Manga-style comic, with a little 
beat 'em up section in the middle. This involves 
fighting off a pack of wolves lor a few seconds. If 
you get through that alive, then you're shown the 
remainder of the 
comic. If there was 
more ol It, this could be 
quite entertaining, but 
it's over before it's 
begun. Can be played 
back to back with the 
forthcoming parts of the 
series.

RINK A DINK 



dtnn 




Designer demos are Lemon's speciality. Rink a 
Dink is another of their typically slick productions, 
with a stream of excellent plasmas and eoams, 
with loads of other wobbly bits in between. 
There's a good soundtrack loo, with lots of good 
percussion and bass samples all mixed up in a 
hcusey kind of style. It's a shame that most of the 
effects are enclosed in small boxes, rather than 
filling the whole screen, but other than that, it's 
most desirable.

s Dungeon Master in a spaceship! Okay, so it's 
not as deep as DM. but it's got the waking around 
a 3D mass bit - with monsters too! The gameplay 
is pretty straightforward and invokes getting from 
one end of a maze to the other, collecting cash 
and buying weapons along the way. Should you 
happen to meet a slimy green alien, you can splat- 
ter him across the walls with your current weapon, 
which could be anythiTig from a knife to a roGket 
launcher. You don't get the fully animated 3D tex- 
ture maps o! games like Legend of Kyrandia, but 
you can still keep track of the flick-screen 3D 
graphics with the help of the map. Nowhere near 
ccmme'cial standard, bu! not bad for PD.

DOCTOR WHO: 
THE 60s 

mvltlm^dlca 

If you're the kind of person who likes to know 
Patrick Traughton's favourite breakfast cereal 
(and whether he likes sugar on it or not). U 
you'll jump at the chance to get sluck into the 
two-disk Dr Who trivia set, 

It's a multimedia thing (as they &ay these 
days), which means that it's got text and graphics 
tied together with Hyperbook. 

Unfortunately, it's a very simple affair, with 
reams ot text accompanied by digitised mugsbots 
of the characters and enemies. Part one cone- 
trates on the William Hartnell era, while the 
second is devoted to the episodes with Patrick 
Troughton.

GUI ARC 1.10 

point and click art hi vers 

CLI-based archivers like LHft can be a pain to 
use, so it's a good job there are programs like 
this So make life easier. GUI ARC gels around the 
problem with a SID.- 'Directory Qpus-style mouse 
operated interface. Your source and destination 
drives or directories each have their own winanw. 
Archiving a set of files is just a matter of highlight- 
ing them with the mouse, and clicking the 
appropriate button. Extracting files is just as sim- 
ple.. Highly recommended lo regular arctwers.

various utilities 

For anyone into graphics and animation, this disk is ; 
well worth getting just for the Viewtek program 
lhaf s included. This is a very simple, intelligent pic- ; 
ture and animation viewer that's bound to come in 
handy all the lime. The front end is nothing more ; 
than a file requester- but what a tile requester it isl ■ 
The program automatically detects whether the 
selected file is an animation, an ILBM, a GIF or 
JPEG, and configures itself accordingly. II supports ■ 
the AGA modes, and also has an ANIM7 animation : 
converter (put them through this and they'll play- [ 
back a lot faster). 

Also on the disk is the text editor EdWord, the 
DMS file interrogation tool DAfS Toy, and 
TrackmoDoslvr putting together music demos. 
Another handy compilation from Cynostic.

COLOUR IT 

kids paint 

These kiddie paint packages are all the rage at the 
moment. Colour it is. Ihe latest to appear, and 
comes as a three-disk set. The prog ram itselt is 
very simple - it's tbe pictures lhal come with it lhat 
make it worthwhile. There aren't any of the normal 
drawing tools available, except for a flood fill func- 
tion. This is all you need to use Colour It Load up 
one of the pictures from the disk, and you can Iben 
colour it in by clicking in the blank areas with the 
mouse. The right button brings up the palette when 
you want to use a different colour. 

All of the pictures are black and white outlines, 
scanned in from books and comics no doubt, so 
they're perfect tor colouring in. Each disk has 
around 20 pictures each, and you can load and run 
any one of the three independently ol the other two. 
Well,, it kept me happy for a tew minules anyway.

DISK MAGAZINES 

Everyone's getting in on the disk 
mag thing these days. Here's a 
quick roundup of what's currently 
available. 

TOTAL IRRELEVANCE 

This is the official OctaMED user's disk mag 
The interface has been written by Teijo 
Kinnunen (the author of OctaMED). and is very 
neat and simple to use. Tutorials abound as 
you'd expect (the November issue includes a 
guide to sampling rates by Dave Sullivan and a 
MIDI for Beginners leature among others), and 
there are also a lew OctaMED tunes in there 
too. Software and. music reviews also jostle for 
prominence among more general articles. If 
you're into OcfaMEDin a big way, there's plenty 
to keep you happy here. 
Available from: Computer and Design 
Services. Dept PD, 24 Blackmoor Croft, Tile 
Cross, Birmingham, 33 OPE. Tel: Q21 
779 6368. Price: £2,50 including ftft^ 

P+P (2 disks,). »**/p 

CHANNEL Z 

The only AGA-specific disk mag to have 
appeared isn't the most attractively presented, 
but at least it is all geared towards the A 1200 
(with A4OO0 relevance too ol course). This is a 
more varied disk mag than most with a bit more 
lo offer than reams ol text. Issue 2 has a Cule 
digitised raccoon picture, the even enter 
Workbench hack called Ameko (gives your 
Workbench a pet cat), Vam Checker, Kill AGA. 
DCopy3. 1, a letters page. PD reviews, a handful 
of features and a general reviews section. Not 
bad at all.

Probably the longest standing diskmag of them 
all, Grapevine is very much a 'scene' mag. Thais 
'scene' as in the hacking/demo scene, so if jtou're 
into putting record-breaking numbers ot bobs on 
screen and then zooming them wilh a 50Hz 3D 
routine, this is the mag for you. Until recently it's 
been out on its own, but there are now a few sari- 
ous challengers tor ils crown. Even if you donl 
care about coding, there are always hundreds 
(yes hundreds) of other features that have noth- 
ing to do with ihe Amiga at all.

HARD DRIVE + RAM EXPANSION 

The GVP A530 js a unique cdmhmalion of a Hard Drive. RAM upgrade 
and an Accelerator. Inside is a lull Motorola 6Bu3Dec processor running 
al 40MHz. making your ASOQ fasler than you ihotigrrt possible - alrrWSl 
nine times fasler than an A12D0. And. titling a PGA maihs co-processor 
(40WH* 6MS2, ref: UPG 1982. E12S «c ttr) can improve this still further, 
wilh some operations being 300 times fasler than an AS00. In addition 
you can add up 10 flMb of M-M RAM, which lurlrw enhances 
performance. 

FASTER THAN AN A12Q0 or A4000 030 

An A500 with: the GVP A530 fitted will be considerably faster lhan either 
the A1 200 or A40O0. This is possible because the AB3d uses a 4Qmw 
6B0MEC processor, whilsl lhe M200 uses lhe slower 14.1 Bmhz 68Q20EC 
processor and lhe A40O0-030 uses the 25WHz 68030ec processor.

CU AMIGA AMI 





Take advantage of these 

special offers- Not only are 

we offering some of the 

cheapest memory upgrade 

offers anywhere, we've 

also added a hand scanner 

tray and OCR software to 

the product range. 

Welcome to our new look 
reader's offers pages, Thi$ 
month sees the 
launch of a new offer for spe- 
cial hand scanner tray and 
optical character recognition 
software. Also, we continue the 
memory upgrade range 
designed and built in the UK 
exclusively for CU AMIGA. 
Never before has upgrading 
been so affordable. 

How can we be soooo cheap? 
Well, thanks lo the huge success of 
these very offer pages and our 
exclusive deal with Go Direct we 
have control over the latest manufac- 
turing technology to produce the 
upgrades - which means exceptional value for you. 

So why upgrade your memory? Probably 
because a memory upgrade is the mo$l versatile 
enhancement you can make to your Amiga. Apart 
from the fact Ihat you need it lo run more powerful 
Amiga software there are many extra benefits too. 
You can use some of it as a RAM disk, just like a 
superiasi extra floppy drive. Ttiis means ihat you 
can avoid the cost of a second external floppy drive 
or hard disk. 

There's even some software that, even though it 
claims to deed a hard drive, will run from this con- 
figured RAM:. A print spooler can save you time 
waiting for your printer to finish printing before you 
get on with your work and you can use your new 
RAM to do this instead of buying a more expensive 
printer or a costly buffer, 

To get more from your Amiga you need at leas) 
i Mb. To get the best you need as much RAM as 
you can buy.

IGA WORKSHOP 





QUESTION & ANSWER MASTERCLASS 



Q My animations aren't very long, but ! keep get- 
ting messages Irom DPaintVke 'insufficient 
memory'. What's the cause (I have a 1Mb A5C0 
plus), and how can I solve it? 

Hobyn Broderick, Dublin. 

A The glib solution is to throw money at the prob- 
lem If you can afford It, buy some extension RAM, 
which DPairtf can use to store many more anima- 
tion frames. The RAM will be useful for other 
applications too, so it would be a wise investment. 
The Other solutions involve making the most of what 
you've got, 

Here's a run-down ol the things you should con- 
sider to free up more RAM for DPaint Close down 
ina Workbench screen if it's open. You do this by 
selecting the Workbench option from ihe prefer- 
ences menu, Free any laxge brushes you may be 
holding in memory unawares - lo do this simply clip 
out a tiny brush and the old one is replaced If you 
have a spare page, remove it since if takes up 
around 40k ol precious RAM in low-resolution 
mode. Delete it by accessing the 'delete this page' 
option from the picture menu whilst in the spare 
page. Plan your animation beforehand, and stick to 
the number of Irames you can complete it in. If 
memory is tight, never select the expanded way of 
storing frames from the method menu item. By 
sticking with 'compressed' you will be able to cram 
in more frames because DPaint stores only ihe dif- 
ferences between successive frames in this tormat 
You should also avoid using stencils, which use 
memory,, steer clear ol pattern fills held in memory, 
and, once used, free any Anim brushes, which are 
held in memory too. This may sound restricting, but 
you have to maximise what you have, You can still 
use an Anim brush, of course - but remember to 
'free' it after use, Likewise fill patterns and spare 
pages - a little pre-planning could be (he only 



answer you need. Finally, you can free up more 
memory right from the Mart of DPaint, by specifying 
Swap in (he startup requester This allows DPaint to 
load in, and then free sections of codecs and when 
needed, if you accept the defautl (All) then the 
entire program loads into memory - which is quick, 
but memory intensive. 

3 My animations play too slowly - they're really 
just not smooth enough. How can 1 give them. 
some pace? 

Gerald! ne Broderick, North Hants. 

A Another memory-shifting problem. The more 
complex your images, the harder your Amiga has 
to work to re-draw the animation frames. The 
same rules apply as with lack of memory. Use 
objects with less detail - remember, once a 
brush is spinning or moving, there's not a lot of 
point having it full of subtle effects because 
these will be lost in the motion. Keep back- 
grounds simple if possible - use solid colours 
■ instead of gradient fills. If you have enough 
memory for your work, try using the 
method/expanded menu option, which stores 
each animation frame as a separate screen 
(around 4QK each in low res); this will lead to a 
much smoother playback because DPaint won't 
have to uncompress the image data before dis- 
playing each screen. Be warned, though, that the 
animation can take up vast amounts of disk 
space in this format. 

Q 1 own DeiuxePaint ill, and want to upgrade to 
version IV. Will all my old stuff work on the new 
version? I fancy ail the effects you gel with HAM 
painting, but don't want to re-do all that work! 

Dermot Dennis, Manchester. 



For his final 
instalment in 
the year-long 
CU AMIGA 
project to help 
you become a pro with 
Deluxe Paint, Peter Lee 
does his Claire Rayner bit 
to answer some of the 
questions which have 
beset Amiga artists since 
time began... Well, since 
the start of the year any- 
way, luvvies. 



A The changes between ihe two programs are 
quite significant, but rest assured your images and 
animations will all load imo DPaint iV. The 
changes which tend to confuse most upgraders 
are ranges and palettes, DPIV offers wider choices 
in these areas at the expense of complexity. As far 
as HAM painting goes,, you're in for a treat, 
because you can load all your old images into 
HAM, and DPafaf will convert them to the 4096 
colour mode, so you will be able to achieve effecfc 
on your saved work which you never even though! 
were possible. 

Q I'm confused over when to use background fa 
and when to create a stencil. Is there any differ 
enqe between the two, and, if so, what's the best 
way to use them ? 

John Hoyne, Shrewsbury 

A Both background fix and stencil protect 
colours. But while you can protect selected cotoua 
from your palette in stencil creation, ihe back- 
ground fix protects all screen colours. In stencS 
work you often find you need to add colours 
around an existing image - usually you may try I 
paint in a background after the foreground has 
been finished. By protecting all colours except I 
background, you can freely edit the screen, 
in the knowledge that you worn be painting ova 
anything lhat's already there. Stencilling is a j 
safeguard, and allows you to work intuitively 



f

painting instead of being restricted by what images 
go behind what. The main use of background fix- 
ing is experimentation - you can draw to your 
heart's content without realty altering a pixel on the 
fixed screen. This also means you cannot edit the 
fixed image in this, mode, SO, at some point, you 
will need to free the background to get on with the 
job in hand. Anything you added while it was fixed 
now becomes part ot it. So, while you can't change 
what's fixed by painting ovef the image and adding 
edits, you can significantly alter what's on screen. 
And, if you make a mistake, just erase it, and the 
original fixed screen shows through. This tech- 
nique is excellent for cell animation, where you 
need to see what's gone before in order to make 
changes to the next frame. DPIV has its light table 
effect for this, bul DPHi users have found back- 
ground fixing serves the purpose. 



w I want an object to disappear into the back- 

ground during an animation, but no matter how 
small I make the distance, there's always some- 
thing left on screen. How come? 

Gerry Rooney. Glasgow, 

A Its always seemed strange to me too. You can 

minimise an ordinary brush manually [minus key) 



until it's disappeared, but the "animation move' 
facility isn't as bright. The only automatic way I 
know of doing this trick is to turn your brush edge 
on by rotating it using the X angle option for the 
last frame. But you, like me, may tind it a lot easier 
just to erase the sucker after it has painted on the 
last screen. 



\J I'm quite happy running DPaint Hi, but it's 
annoying to find that just when you want to tint 
something, the mode menu option isn't available - 
am I doing something wrong ? 

A A lot of people find Ibis unnerving. They cut out 
a shape, and want to tint something with it. 
Unfortunately, DPaint Hi doesn't allow custom 
brushes to be used for tinting - you can only use 
the built-in brushes and tools, The way around 
this, if you need a specific shape to be tinted 
(maybe a shadow of a person or building), is to 
use the freehand fill option with tint enabled from 
the till requester, and draw your outline. For built-in 
brush tinting, select the mode\tint menu item. 
Lucky DPaintIV users can activate 
effecrAprooessvtint and place a custom brush on 
screen to achieve the same effect. 
NOTE:TintJng is dependent on your current 



palette. If there aren't any suitable colours a> 
able (ie ranges of various colours), BPainfs 
brilliant, but it cant work miracles, 

Cj \ notice you and lots of other Amiga 

make use of real pictures in your work. How 
is it to do this myself, and what problems am 
likely to face using them in my own images'' 

Paul McEvoy, 



A By real pictures I guess you mean digitised 
images The Amiga is such a wonderful computer 

for storing and displaying beautiful images that 
there's little wonder they are used so widely. Oyer 
the past few months I've used striking real-life pic- 
tures to illustrate points in an entertaining and 
memorable way (I hope!). Some I've digitised 
myself; others I've downloaded from bulletin 
boards; and yet others have come Iron PD library 
disks. Let's quickly run through your options. To 
begin with I'd advise getting suitable pictures from 
either shareware or public domain sources. There 
are many of these outlets around, and the disks 
sell cheaply because what's on there has been 
either donated by the author to the Amiga commu- 
nity (public domain), or offered on a trial basis to 
see if you want to buy it (shareware), I've let loose 
some of my artwork into the world and, as far as 
I'm concerned, people can do what they like with it- 
Capturing your own images onto the computer 
is more complicated, requiring you to buy a digi- 
tiser. Once you've connected on to your machine, 
you then need either a video recorder or video 
camera from which to grab (or capture) the image. 
The digitising software is very clever and, depend- 
ing on your cash oullay, you can buy colour or 
grey scale digit isers, Some digit* sers can actually 
grab moving images (to be used in animations) 
while others require a few seconds exposure to 
digitise an image (which means if you're using a 
video recorder, it had better have a rock-steady 
pause function). Problems? With DPaint not many, 
because whatever mode the digitiser grabs the 
screen in, you can almost bet that DPaint will be 
able to load it in for you to edit. Also, be careful not 
to infringe copyright. Just because you digitised a 
picture into your computer doesn't mean it's yours 1 

CJ My DP&intIV disk came with something called 
coloured fonts, but they look funny when I try to 
use tbern. Is my computer display to blame? (I'm 
plugged into a portable TV until I can afford a 
proper monitor.) 

George Elias Chousboury, Pari*. 

A No, you've just missed out a vital stage in 
accessing the fonts. To ensure DPaint can use the 
colour information in the font, you must first of all 
run a little program called CotorText, which you'll j& 




your original JWm brush, didn't you?]. You now have a i

find on the O/W program disk, Once that's done, 
and DPaint is started, you can see those typo* 
styles in all their glory when you load them in, and 
choose to use the fonts palette. Incidentally, you 
may get a problem because l he colours used in 
the fonts aren't the same as your current palette. 
The only answer Is to type your text using its own 
colour scheme, save that text as a brush, and load 
it into your main image. Now try to re- map the 
brush colours to the screen palette. 



W Your reviewer Mat Broomfield was really 
impressed with Brilliance, the new Amiga art pack- 
age. Is this the end for Deluxe Paint ? 

Jason Stilela, Clapham. 

A DPaint isn't immortal, just very good- 
Electronic Arts, who make the program, have sup- 
ported the Amiga from the beginning and the fact 
that DPaint is the market leader shows how highly 
people rale it. It's number one because it does 
what you need an art package to do, and because 



it's become a standard of excellence. As tar as 

Brilliance is concerned, it covers a vast spectrum 
of drawing needs, and very cleverly too. it's too 
soon to say if Brilliance will topple DPamt. 
Unfortunately, with something like art packages, 
you can't do exactly what you want sometimes, 
and have to make do- with what you can get from 
the software. 

My first impressions of Brilliance is that it 
pushes this barrier further forward than DPaint. 
Animation control is more far-reaching, and the 
initially bemusing menu hierarchy quickly 
becomes second nature. 

For an even more indepth assessment of each 
program's merits, see our comprehensive head- 
to- head feature elsewhere in this issue. fgt 



Finally.... That's the end al our 1 2 -month journey 
through the world of Deluxe Puiiil. I hope you've 
been able to pick up some useful tips on the way; 
and, more importantly, perhaps just a little of my 
enthusiasm for this great program has rubbed off 
on you. Watch out For a new tutorial starling soon.

MATOR 



As a follow-up to last month's terrific cover disk pro- 
gram, Aegis Animator, Peter Lee explains more 
techniques to help you get the most out of this 
amazing piece of animation software. 





H 



opetully, you've been dabbling with 
Animator over the last few weeks, and get- 
ting to know how to tend your tweens and 
manage your morphs. Last month's introduction 
gave an overview ot how the program works; now 
it's time to progress with some hands-on expert 
techniques to really make Animator earn Its keep.,. 




The timing of tweens (the individual segments 

which make up an animation) give* you wonder- 
ful control Over every aspect Of a sequence. We'll 
run through an example 10 show how timing can 
speed up or slow down events - or make them 
happen so fast they don't exist anymore! 

An eye catching effect is 
to have objects appear 
gradually from nothingness 
- they are invisible to begin 
with, but they appear gradu- 
ally as their colours move 
from dim to bright, emerg- 
ing from nowhere. Vou 
control just how last they 
emerge by using the time 
control panel, which, as 
w&ll as letting you choose 
the speed of the entire ani- 
mation also lets you pick a SSSSSS* 
speed for the particular tween i un t«en io ton and 
(or event) you have just ere- a«i*ta new morphine 

ated poims, stretching mil the 

^ TIP: This effect works on ^£'JSg 

bitmap images (i.e. those resembling en asi. 

drawn in Deluxe Painty but is 

slightly more complicated. Once you've loaded in 
an image you have to check the RGB values ot 
the colours used and make a note of them, so 
that when you black them out and ease them 
back in again during an animation, you can set 



their values back to what they should be. 

But let's work with a simple bitmap {DPaint 
imaga) outlined text. You need to have words or 
letters coloured differently so you can work on just 
one portion ol the image at a time. Ot course, if 
you want the whole text to appear gradually as one 
item, then use the same colour tor the outline. In 
my example I've used four colours for the outline, 
and just one for the (ill colour. 

In tween one I loaded in the DPaint picture as 
a background. Remember that tor Aegis Animator 
to 'see' images, they must have the correct 
extension: i.e. -win tor brushes, and .pic for pic- 
tures The picture in tween one was loaded in 
using its own palette, which meant you could See 
the text, but, as the point of this example 
is to have the words appear from 
nowhere, this has to be changed. 

Clicking on (he colour palette icon on 
the fast menu brings up the colour control 



panel, and you can select a colour by clicking on it 
in the palette at the bottom of the requester. When 
you select the colours used in youf image, then set 
them to black (RGB values to 00). the text disap- 
pears. If you were to play this tween now you'd still 
see the original image before it blacked out- The 
secret is to make the tween happen so fast that it 
becomes invisible. To do this, go back to the fast 
menu and select time, The requester shows two 
slider bars; one represents the timer for the whole 
animation (global), and one just for the current 
tween (local). By clicking on the iween marker and 
sliding it all the way to the right, you effectively 
make your tween happen instantaneously - the 
image you loaded and blacked out never gets a 
chance to be shown, and ihe screen remains 
'empty". 

Once done, you can click on the next tween 
icon (The camera - NOT the movie projector, 
which replays the animation/tween). It's now up to 
you so choose how long you want to give the 
image to appear. By using the colour requester 
again you can make individual colours fade in (or 
out) by altering either their RGB or hue, saturation 
or light values. 

To make something appear suddenly (like a 
flash cf white light), set the colour you need for the 
object then, from the fast menu, select the next 
tween. To make the colour appear gradually, say 
over a range of six dim greys before becoming 
white, you need to alter the colour gradually then 
click on next tween. 

Each change in colour needs its own tween. 
and remember you can make this happen at your 
own speed by altering the local speed from the 
time requester. To make a flash (as in the case o' 
cur example, with the solid colour inside Ihe text 
outline) you simply have Ihe colour switch Irorn 
black to while in a short tween, then turn it back to 
black in the following tween. 

MIXING IT 

This rather Monty Python-esque example shows 

hgw to use tween one to set up an otherwise 
impossible animation. I used the famous 
Michelangelo image of Adam and decided to give 
him some clothes. But I wanted the 
clothing to appear and cover him. 
which raised the problem of getting 
the clothing the right shape to fit. 
The answer was to use the filled 
polygon tool (The little wedge trian- 
gle in the fast menu) and draw his 
suit and shirt in tween one, 
Then I used the move function

individual objscts. To do this, setect path from the 
move pullnjown menu, and click on the object you 
want to move. Now, by clicking as you draw a 

ghosted line, you specify the 
route of the object, This works 
just as well for bitmaps as for 
Animator polygons. II the end- 
ing location is slightly out of 
position, just use the move 
hand to place it perfectly. You 
can have ail objects move at 
once during a single tween, or 
move them over several 
tWSSttft. 

TIP: The path function is 
excellent for moving bitmaps 
about the screen, but... I 
could have used painted 
mages ot the clothes In this 
animation (drawn them in 
DPaint over the Adam 
image), but with Animator 
you have to always be care- 
ful of using up loo much 
memory. A Polygon object 
takes up much less memory 
than a bitmap image brush. 



One of the really fascinating things about the pro- 
gram is its ability to morph objects - change them 
from one Ihing to another. Pre-planning a 
sequence, though, is vital, because Animator won't 
let you send objects behind others, or bring them 
forward. You have to visualise each object as 
drawn on a layer, If something's behind an object 
before you morph, then it still will be afterwards. 

Our little morphing example shows a man being 
made an ass of. The sequence involved drawing 
the face using the filled polygon tool, and editing it 
by using the loop tool (looks like a loop on a han- 
dle in the fast menu). The eye (white polygon, blue 
circle) was added, and the eyebrow and ear drawn 
with the polygon tool. The hair was then added in 
the same way - and the first tween was com- 
pleted, with the local speed set at the highest 
value to make the face appear as one. 

Instead of using the loop tool to stretch out the 
face into the shape of an ass, I chose the hook 
tool. When morphing they do the same job of 
pulling and tugging at a shape, but the hook also 
allows you lo place or 
remove points from the poly- 
gon. To create a new point, 
just click on a line joining 
(wo points together. To 
remove one, drag it over an 
adjacent point. This way you 
get much more control over 
a polygon, and can adjust 
the number of points tor the 
best appearance. 

I did the same for the 
hair, turning it into a mane 
and adding a quiff as a new 
polygon As for the ear, this 
was moved upwards using 
the hand, then morphed 
using the hook. All these 
effects were done in tween 
two, so when played back. 
the transformation happens 



in one go. wiih the local speed set at a i 
level so you can actually see the face stresc 
(like the greal effect in the film Th9 HowtinQ) 

SHADOW BOXING 

This effecl is pretty tortuous in something like 
DPaint, but Animator strolls it. It's giving an ofipM 
(in our case, text) a lengthening shadow to simu- 
late a lowering light source, 

The Original picture was drawn in DPaint, usang 
false colours. You can see that the main text has 
been overpainted six times with different shade* of 
colour building up to the actual text, We shall be 
making all those colours invisible to start with by 
using A&gis Animator's colour control panel. In 
fact, we have to make the entire image 'invisible' 
by turning ail colours to the values of the back 
ground grey (R10,GiO,BiOJ. That is done in tween 
one, which - yes you've guessed it - has local 
speed set to the highest setting. 

Ngw, on a tween by tween basis, the text itse* 
is brought to view by editing its colour, then in bum 
the underlying shadows are made visible; on this 
occasion I used black to demonstrate the tech- 
nique, but subtle shades of grey actually look 
better. Start with the shadow nearest the letter, 
and as you move on to the nest tween, select the 
next colour. 

TIP: When in the palette control panel you can 
click on screen to select a colour. This way you 
won't be guessing which colour in the range you 
should be working with. 

If you do have to try hit-and-miss selection, 
remember, too, that you can undo an operation if 
you pick the wrong colour. The rest of the text 
was brought into view in a similar way, and gives 
a pretty special animation which, with most ether 
packages, would be truly cumbersome. (2J)

Welcome to the pages dedicated entirely 
to Acid Software's ^iWPS-bashing Blitz 
Basic 2, a BASIC programming lan- 
guage that can be used to create anything from 
high-speed arcade games, utilities and even seri- 
ous software. 

Last month, we started our look at the hidden 
powers of Blitz with a rundown of Blitz's powerful 
slice and bitmap commands.. These rwo com- 
mands are very important as they allow you lo 
open up hardware- level screens just like those 
used in professional games software. 

So far, however, our bitmaps have been rather 
boring. Opening up a basic 320 by 256 pixel 
screen with 32 colours is all very well if you're writ- 
ing nothing more than a paint program, but arcade 
games tend to be somewhat more demanding. 
Thankfully, Blitz Basic is more than a match for the 
job - not only can you create oversized 'super- 
bitmaps 1 and scroll them smoothly using the 
Amiga's hardware scrolling lacilities, but you can 
also load standard IFF pictures into them before- 
hand. This comes in particularly useful if you're 
writing a game because, although gameplay is 
important, it's the quality of a game's graphics that 
really make them shine. So, you can design your 
game's background graphics in DPaint, and then 
pull them into your Blitz program without a worry, 

IFFY SCREENS 

Loading graphics saved in IFF format in Blitz is 
more complicated than it is with AMOS. Whereas 
AMOS takes away virtually all ihe work of setting. 
up the screen, initialising the screen's palette etc, 
Blitz isn't so user friendly- If you create a bitmap 
and a slice tor your Blitz screen and then load in 
your IFF graphic, Blitz won't recognise the pic- 
ture's palette and will revert to its own. The reason

tor this is simple, All Blitz bitmaps that you create 
need to have an additional "palette' object 
assigned to them that held the screen's colour 
palette definitions- This isn't as complicated as it 
sounds, however, so you can stop biting your 
nails! First of all. load a picture Into a Blitz bitmap, 
tell Blitz that you'd like It to hold on to the picture's 
colour palette by giving it the number of a palette 
'object' that is to hold the palette information. Blitz 
automatically creates a palette object whenever 
one Is needed, so there aren'i any complicated 
memory allocations that need lo be made, 

The command to load a picture into a bitmap is 
- not surprisingly - 'LoadBitMap' and it has the fol- 
lowing format- LoadBitMap bitmap, 
FILENAME, PAlzrtE, bitmap. The Biimap 
parameter is fairly obvious- In order to load a pic- 
ture into a bitmap, you must have previously 
created a bitmap that will hold the picture. This 
parameter tells Blitz Basic the number of the 
bitmap that you wish to toad the picture into, Take 
care, however, to make sure that the bitmap that 
you try to load the picture into is ot the same depth 
as the picture - if you try to load a 32-colour pic- 
ture into a 16-colour bitmap, lor example, your 
program will crash. 

The filename parameter is pretty obvious too, 
tells Blitz Sasr'cthe name of the picture that you 
wish to load anywhere it can be found. Note that 
the picture must be in standard IFF format 

The palette parameter is a number that tells 
Blitz Basic (hat you'd like it to store the palette 
information from the picture into a palette object. 
you don't add this parameter, the picture's palette 
will be lost. Blitz Basic copies the picture's colour 
palette into a palette object and uses the number 
that you passed as the palette object's 'identifica- 
tion' number. 

Blitz may be powerful, but AMOS still does 
offer a number of features that would have bene- 
fited Blitz greatly. One of these features is AMOS 
ability lo store pictures into permanent memory 
banks, therefore removing the need to hold all 
your game's graphics on disk in IFF format. This, 
unfortunately, makes them easy targets for hack- 
ers and crackers that may want to personalise 
your graphics with the names ot their trumped-up 
cracking crews. Not onry that, but it's down to the

prog rammer to make sure that background graph- 
ics are loaded into memory each time the game is 
run. Simply creating a slice to display your bitmap 
won'l make the picture that you've loaded display 
on the screen using its own colour palette. Once 
you've created a slice for your bitmap, you need to 
tell Blitz that you'd like the slice to use the colour 
palette that you stored the picture's colour palette 
in when the picture was loaded with the 
'LoadBitMap' command. This is very easy - all you 
have to do is to add the command 'Use Palette' to 
your program and the paiette information from your 
picture will automatically be transferred to the cur- 
rent slice. Here's a quick demonstration program 
thai creates a 32-c0l0ur biimap, loads in a 32- 
colour picture and then displays it using its correct 
colour palette - note that the filename I have used 
will have to be changed so that it points to a pic-

BLITZ BASIC COL 




down info whal games, programmers would call 
'hardware scrolling' and 'software scrolling'. The 
only real difference between these two techniques 
is Thai unlike hardware scrolling which is handled 
by specialised hardware built into the Amiga's cus- 
tom chips, software scraNing is handled by Blitz 
itself using the Amiga's blitlerchip.. Software 
scrolling is undoubtedly far more flexible than 
hardware scrolling but it does have the disadvan- 
tage of being somewhat more eomplicaied 
Perhaps we'll return to the subject of software 
scrolling in a later issue... 

HARDWARE SCROLLING 

Hardware scrolling is a scrolling technique that 
uses the Amiga's built-in screen scrolling hard- 
ware, Yes, even without a programming language 
as powerful as Blitz Basic, the Amiga's hardware is 
more than capable of scrolling screens at unbeliev- 
able rates. Indeed, hardware scrolling is so last 
that it's actually possible to scroll a screen faster 
than the Amiga's display hardware can redraw the 
display that you see on your Amiga monitor or TV 

Harcrware scrolling' does have its limitations, 
however. Because it can only scroll whole screens, 
it does tend to be rather memory intensive, If you 
were writing an arcade game thai used a scrolling 
background (hat continuously changed iScf$mble 
tor example), the entire background would have to 
be held in memory as a massive bitmap. Even a 
fairly small bitmap consisting of twenty low resolu- 
tion screens wouW ea! up over 3om - and that's 
just for a 2-cotour bitmap! A 32-cotour bitmap 
would be over 1Mb! There are ways to get around 
this limitation, but it's down to you to write a more 
efficient routine. 

To understand how hardware scrolling works 
yoy need to know a Utile about what makes an 
Amiga display, As any hardware programmer will 
tell you, the Amiga's display is split into two com- 
ponents. - the main display bitmap (ihe area that 
your programs draw into) and the display viewport 
{the slice), The slice is your 'window' on the bitmap 
that is held in ihe Amiga's memory. By creating a 
bitmap that Is larger than the view port, you can 
create terrifically-smooth scrolling effects simply by 
moving the position of the viewport so that it dis- 
plays a different section of the bitmap Take a 
Bitmap that is 640 by 256 pixels in size tor exam- 
ple. If your slice were 320 by 256 pixels, then only 
half of the Bitmap could be displayed at any one 
time, Using hardware scrolling however, it is possi- 
ble io change the slice's origin so that all of the 
SuperBitmap can be viewed, Wilh a game that 
needs the background to be scrolled 1 cortlinuously 
m one direction, programmers cheat by looping the 
position of the slice around the Bitmap so thai 
when the scroll reaches the far end of (he Bitmap's 
boundaries, the Slice's origin is reset so thatltie 
first part of the bitmap is displayed, 

Hardware scrolling is one of Btitz Basids most 
powerful facilities yel, considenng its complexity, it's 
surprisingly simple to incorporate a hardware 
scrolling screen into your own Blitz programs. 
Indeed, all that is required to get things moving fif 
you II pardon the pun) is a slightty extended version 
of the 'Show' command that we used to display a 
bitmap within a slice, If you know your AMOS then 
you should feel instantly at home with this new ver- 
sion of theihow command as it works in virtually 
the same way as AijtlOS screen offset command 
The extended version of ihe showcommand is as 
follows: r^ * 

Show BITMAP, Xt-YMXKA?** " **»* 

The bitmap paranwtethokte the number of the 
brtmap lhat is to be displayed within the current 
slice. Hjor example, you created a bitmap using an 
■•identification number of zero, then this value of aero 
must b# passed to ie shot* command' in order for 
Bi!tr% know>hch ftmap isThjWdisplayed. 

173 



The X parameter holds the offset 
value (in pixels) of Ihe lop left-hand cor- 
ner of the slice in relation to the left-hand 
edge of the bitmap. It, for example, you 
wanted to place the slice exactly 20 pix- 
els left of the left hand edge of the 
bitmap, then you'd feed the show com- 
mand a value of 20. By altering ihe value 
of this parameter in fixed steps , smooth 
horizontal scrolling i$ possible. 

The Y parameter holds the offset 
value (in pixels) of the top left-hand cor- 
ner of the slice in relation to the top of 
the bitmap. If, for example, you wanted 
to place the slice exactly 40 pixels down 
from the top of the bitmap, then you'd 
feed the show command a value of 40, 
By altering ihe value of this parameier 
in fixed steps, smooth vertical scrolling 
is possible. Before we dive in and take 
a look at a demonstration program that 
shows how to put all this theory into 
action, it's worth noting that in order for 
your scroll to run at the correcl speed, it 
needs to be synchronised with ihe 
redrawing of the screen using the Blitz 
VWait command, This is exactly ihe same as the 
Wait VB1 command in AMOS. All it does is io force 
your program to halt execution until the next frame 
so that everything runs in sync. If you were to sim- 
ply scroll your screen without tying it in with screen 
redraws, the scroll would appear to go crazy, It's 
worth noting too that only a single VWait command 
must be performed for every loop of your program 
and even ihen it must not be called until every pari 
of your game's main game loop has been per- 
formed, If, for example, you were writing a simple 
shoot 'em up, you'd scroll ihe screen, move your 
'shapes' (blitler objects), check for collisions elc 
and then [and only then) call the VWait command, 

HOW'S IT DONE THEN? 

Let s take a look at an example program. Once 
again, it's down to you to create a background pic- 
ture in DPai/it thai can be loaded into the 640 by 
256 pixel bitmap that the program creates, The 
demonstration only uses a 16 colour bitmap, so 
you should be able to create a suitable Image 
regardless of whether you own an AGA machine. 
Once you've created your bitmap, save it qui and 
substitute its filename for the filename that I've 
used in the fisting.

The above listing is (airly self explanatory, bu| 

let's take a look at it anyway, jt start&Jy initialising 



a bitmap that will be used as our scroll area, The 
bitmap is 540 pixels across and 256 pixels down 
and four brtplanes in depth (giving a maximum of 
1 6 colours). A picture with these exact same 
dimensions is then loaded into the bitmap from 
disk and the picture's palette is stored into palette 
object 0, Once this is done, the program then 
turns on Blitz Basils SI ,TZ mode, allowing us to 
open screens at hardware level. A slice is then 
defined which will be used as our window on the 
bitmap. Note that the slice is only 320 by 256 pix- 
els, effectively allowing it to display only half of 
the bitmap at any one time (the rest will be hid- 
den}, The last two parameters of the slice 
command tell Blitz how wide the bitmap that 
we're going to use this slice to display is - in this 
case, it's 640 pixels across. With the slice 
defined, the palette that we extracted from the 
picture that we loaded earlier is then transferred 
into the slice's palette so that the bitmap win be 
Shown with its correct colour settings, 

' With all the setting up now complete, we can 
scroll the bitmap, Two loops are used - a 
'Repeat.., Unlit* loop and a 'For... Next" loop, The 
first of these has been added so that the screen 
will continuously scroll, The For .Next' loop, 
however, controls the hardware scrolling 
mechanics. It counts from to 319 in steps of 4. 
The values thai rt produces are sufficient enough 
for the entire bitmap to be displayed, It's worth 
noting that the 'step' value defines the speed of 
the scroll - if you decrease it, the scroll will go 
slower and vice-versa, inside the 'For.. .Next' 
loop, the value produced by the loop is passed to 
the 'X' parameter of the "Show 1 command so l hat 
the horizontal offset of the slice relative to the 
bitmap is progressively changed. Each lime the 
show command is called, the program is halted 
by the 'VWait' command before the next iteration 
of the 'For... Next' loop. 

Finally, the program is terminated by checking 
the status of the left mouse button using the 
'JoybO' function. When you run this listing, how- 
ever, the program will not halt unfiF the scroll has 
completely run its course, so be patient. *«*,

PART 





Messing about 
with videos is 
never going to 
be easy, but 
anyone armed 
with a copy of AMOS anc 
possessing basic com 
outer and graphics skills 
should be able to get a 
grip on video making in 
no time. Jim Strutton 
leads you through the 
sub-titling maze. 



u 



Tien 



sing the Amiga along with video equj 
is not a simp-e task, but with a little sfl 
and applicat on, most c? us seen ;o :nan 
age It. Having got the basic corrpu:er and graph 
sK'lls-. it Is not such a great leap as you may i 
' expected to do a bu of useful programming. Now. 
programming trie Amiga in the ra^ is a skill that 
takes much effort, but using software like AMOS r 
fs not too difficult. 

As AMOS was included on a recent coverdisi 
the program should be available to all G5J 
readers. One point I would make though -it is 
feaiiy worth getting the manuals it you intend to 
qo a bit further. 

So. if you have a TiUe program and the f. 
copy of Deluxe Paint, why on earth would you 
need to use something like AMOS to create yet 
graphics? Well, fet me tell you how ; 
ofessionalfy and maybe that will c. 
ideas. I -ave had occasions where I have had to 
produce s ome videos for people with hearing d 
cutties. T~gse needed to have subtitles tc 
the dJaJocje clear. Rather than do a series 
screens. I wrote a simple program that would ta 
a text file of the words and show then 

•e box ai the bottom of the screen, The n 
lor doing th s will be obvious to anybody who 
r-ad to do any sub' titles. After you have edile 
video footage, you have to take the speech 

1 down Yqu (hen take the words 
and adit the it into a form where you retain rN 
sense of what was said, but make it shorter 
: is quick-- r to read and understand. 1 
re some vefy clever people in broad: 
n do this in real lime as a program N 
_, but I am s-;e that they must have at le 
basic script to work from. 

The first program example given nverle 




VIDEO TITLING 



_ 



takes Id a simple text file and outputs the text two 
lines at a time. In use you would take the pre- 
pared script and then run the video through a 
GenLock to a copy that will have the Sub-titles. 
As you play the video bach, you listen to the 
sound and click the mouse to advance. The tech- 
nique is to display the text just after the words are 
spoken, leaving the words on the screen long 
enough for them to be read easily. 

In the long term you need to plan this at the 
editing stage to give sufficient pauses to aliow the 
words to be read. You can only really get good at: 
this with practice. Apart from sub titles, you could 

the software to show a single line caption 
at the bottom of the screen. 

On a commercial level, the basic program for 
sub titles was extended for a sister company in 
France as a system for creating karaoke videos. 
The problem was to create videos for the 
American market of children's nursery rhymes, 
using ofoduciion facilities in France. For those of 
you whg can remember going to the pictures on a 
Saturday morning, there was always the sing- 
aJong where you had to follow the bouncing ball 
on the screen. As no software existed lo create

FONT RUNNERS 

I don': think I will ever be able to write an artfcfe on 
titles without mentioning fonts. AMOS treats fonts 
tn a very special way and it is important to grasp 
the principles involved to understand the differ- 
ences. There are two ways ct getting text on the 
screen with AMOS. The first and simple way uses 
the system font. This is the font used by 
Workbench tor ail text and would normally be 
Topaz, unless you have used a program like 
FastFonts to change it. AMOS is aoie to lake this 
default font and render it to a screen by using ihe 
Print or Centra commands. The position the text s 
placed on the screen is set by text rows and 
columns, Each row is the height of the default text 
font, while the column is the default width. But. as 
you know, some of the better fonts available For 
the Amiga are in sizes other than the default font. 
These fonts are known in AMOS as graphic fonts, 
and they have their own set of commands to posi- 
tion and render them. Initially they have lo be 
loaded from disk and selected - a process that can 
get a bit Fraught, Once loaded, the positron is 
defined in screen pixels and the foul is rendered 
using the Text command. 

The example for sub-titles only uses the stan- 
dard Amiga font and the simple commands to 
render the font, For some uses it would be more 
appropriate to use a larger font, rendered with an 
outline and drop shadow to make It stand out 
more. This is the technique used for the text on the 
commercial versions of Hie sub-title program and 
the karaoke software. Both of these programs and 
the source code can be bought from the AVPG, 



! 



Normally they sell to professional organisaaor* tor 
£250. but for personal use, CU AMIGA reader 
obtain a full set for just £10 from the AVf 
Video Producers Group, lei: 0793 870 

There are two other commands thai c. 
use to the video maker. First off there is 
Scroll command. I have included a simple e 
of this command for you lo try. The key i 
bear in mind is that the text is scrolled a in 
Time and that the font will be the simplt 
the font is scrolled by ne line rather than b, 
pixel, Ihe effect is quite jerky. However, 
it to simulate text coming over a teletype, or even 
computer screen, you can get a veryV 
result, it can be a different way of shown 
credits on your latest holiday epic, for instance. 

Another useful trick AAfOScan perfoi 
ade between two graphic screens. But rather 
than usino, the Fade command, which does i 
ihe best command to use is Appear. The e*' 
works by loading Swo screens into AMOS, d 
ing one and then fading the first Into the second 
can be a quicker solution than creating an 
animation to do the same job. For those of you 
with a simple GenLock with no fade facility, if you 
load a graphic ol a blank screen, followed by a 
title screen, you can fade from the blank tp the 
title and then back again to give the effect of aH 
that fades r then out. 



STORE POINTS 

Finally, you may remember that In the article 
Lights, Camera, Action | -nentoned making a 
rolling video program for use "hi a shop window a 
as an in-store video display. Well, AMOS gives 
you evesn more possibilities! Firstly, ya. can set ui 
the display sequence m AMOS and leave the pre 
gram running out to video. 

The main benefit is that rather than having re 
recreate the text screens each time ii needs a 
change, you can load them in by way of a text file 
and lei AMOS render them for you. 

The r^ext and most exciting option, is a venture 
that is soon to go into operafion. using an Amiga 
a fu'iy featured display system The software ha 
been written in AMOS and it is an interactive retail 
disp ay system for a travel company. An Amiga 
1 300 >s mounted in a secure housmg with a monitor 
screen on the lop. The user never sees the com- 
puter as that is locked well away, AH they can see '« 
-reer: and three coloured buttons. The buttons 
are connected to the joystick port on the Amiga a-«c 
the user can request information from ihe sysiei 
se e-ting options from a choice of three. For 
sophistication, a second version has a passive 
infrared detector, or PJR, which is similar in the way 
it operates to the devices used in security alarms. 
When s$f off by the heat of somebody appr; 
the display, it tnggers a sequence and plays 
music to attract attention. 

All ol this is very simple stuff usino b, 
unmodiiied Amiga kit, which just goes to show 
powerful and flexible the machine really is.

Best to wrap 

your Amiga up 

tightly 'cos 

there are a lot 

of nasty viruses 

out there. John Kennedy 

explains how you can tell 

if you have a virus, what 

to do about it and how you 

can prevent it happening 

in the first place. 



MAINTEKJU t 



A virus is not a living 
organism - It is- a 
computet program. If 
a system has been 'inlecied'. 
Ihe virus program is present 
somewhere in memory- 
There are two goals, for a 
virus program. The firsl is to 
copy itself to as many differ- 
ent systems, and the second 
is to perform some form of sabotage when (hey get 
there. If a virus is present in memory, if will attempt 
to copy itself to every disk which is inserted into the 
computer's floppy disk drive, it can do mis in sev- 
eral ways, such as writing to the bootWock of the 
disk or attaching itself to another file (a link virus). 

What a virus does when it is present in your sys- 
tem depends on which strain it is. Some virus 
programs are merely irritating, and will display silly 
messages or turn your pointer into a rude shape. 
Others are more destructive, and will destroy all the 
data stored on any disk inserted by overwriting it 
with gart>age, Both floppy and hard drives are sus- 
ceptible to damage in this way. 

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? 



SAFE HEX INTERNATIONAL 

Safe Hex liriemotional. is a new UK virus centre now open and they will be 
happy to supply you wilfi ihe wry latest anti-virus softwnfe. A disk of ihe 
latest Mien costs just E2, end for delate you should contact 
SHI Reghnat Virus Centre UK, 3M Leeds Road, EcdeshUL 
Bradford, West Yorkshire, 802 3iQ, 



graphics, loss or 'corruption of files and commer- 
cial games will no longer boot. 

WHAT TO DO IF I HAVE ONE? 

The first thing to do is to giet nd of it! There are 
many programs in the Public Domain which will 
search out and destroy virus programs. CU AMIGA 
always tries to fill any empty space on me cover 
disks with a good program. The anti-virus software 
will search through memory and remove any resi- 
dent programs. If you insert your disks rt will then 
examine them for damage and other copies of the 
virus program, Hard drives should also be checked, 
as a virus could lurk away for weeks in an obscure 
drawer of a large hard drive, When the anti-virus 
software finds somelhing suspicious, it will ask you 
vt-jeu wish to re-write the bootblack or boot sectors. 



The symptoms of viruses are as follows: - Be carefuil It the disk in question is a normal 

Inexplicable crashes from once reliable pre- ArfiigaDOS disk then go ahead wilh the operation,

Most games and many demos put their own spe- 
i cial programs in the boot block of a disk. ;n order to 
prevent piracy or provide a pretty screen as soon as 
the disk is inserted. The anti-virus software has no 
way of Knowing if the boot Nock contains a virus, or 
such a program. If a game or demo boots normally, 
it is reasonably safe to assume that it is free from 
viral infection. To be absolutely sure you may want 
to use a special program which can make a copy of 
trig bootblack and save it as a File. You can then 
safety overwrite the existing data, and it the 
game/demo fails to boot you need only copy ihe 
back-up data back to the disk. H the program does 
boot you can probably assume the boolblock you 
copied contained a virus. If a commercial game has 
been destroyed, gel in touch with the publisher. 
They usually offer a replacement service for a small 
fee. So, now you know all there is to know about 
viruses, check out how 1o prevent them in me box 
out and you should be safe from all harm. ^ 



JE.I 



hove no idee who has used il before you. It is possible thai 
a virus has been attached.. either intentionally or by Occi- 
dent. Always check archived files as well - a virus can be

Jason Holborn takes you gen 
tly by the hand through your 
first ARexx program. 



AREXX 



I 



f you were 
lucky 
enough to 
have found an 
Amiga crammed into your Christmas 
stocking, then you're probably start- 
ing to wonder why Commodore didn't 
include a programming language 
with your new machine, Well the 
truth is lhal they did - it's just that its 
not tfiat easy to find. II you were with 
us last month (and If you weren't, 
why not?), then you'll already know 
that hidden away on your Workbench 
disk is ARexx, a powerful script- 
based programming language that 
can do everything that traditional lan- 
guages iike Basic and Pascal can do, 
plus a whole lot more besides 

Last month we started our look at 
ARexx by discussing what ARexx 
actually is and what it's capable of. If 
you missed thai issue, I'm sure our 
illustrious editor won't mind me men- 
tioning that back issues are still 
available. In the meantime, however, 
let's lake our ARexx tutorial one step 
further into uncharted territory - 
we're going to write our first ARexx 
program. Don't worry, A Rqxx isn't as 
complicated as it may first seem. 
Providing you have a fairly basic 
grasp of AmigaCOS then you're 
already half way there I 

BY THE NUMBER 

Before we take lhat all-important first 
step, however, now is as good s time 
as any to introduce the concept of 
ARexx variables. If you've ever had 
any experience of programming lan- 
guages before, then chances are that 
you've already encountered this fun- 
damental aspect of all programming 
languages. For the beginners 
amongst you. a variable is essentially 
a method of temporarily storing dis- 
crete items of information within the 
memory ol your Amiga. Under normal 
circumstances you'd have to know 
exactly where in the Amiga's memory 
the data has been stored. But vari- 
ables lake this hassle away from you 
by allowing you to create pigeon holes 
in the Amiga's memory which can be 
referred to using labels that you des- 
ignate yourself. You could, tor 



Before you cin wrttt *rt Artxx program, you 
rtawf to make sure Itntl Arm It up and run- 
ning by doutrlMHteklng on th* H*MnMi*t Icon, 



example, create a variable called 
AMIGA or even WOBBLY if you so 
wish. 

Variables can handle just about 
any type of data ranging from a single 
character, an integer, a floating point 
number or even a string of letters. 
Unlike other programming languages, 
however, ARexx variables are what 
are known as typeless'. That is, once 
a variable has been defined to hold 
on§ particular type of data, it isn't 
restricted to just that type of data, 
Say. for example, you created a vari- 
able called FRED that was initially 
used to hold a number. Just because 
It started lite as a number variable, 
that doesn't mean that it will only hold 
numbers - you could quite easily 
transfer a string of characters to it 
without ARexx baiting an eyelid. 
Obviously you can't then perform a 
mathematical operation on it, but 
that's about the only restriction that 
ARexx places. Even then, ARexx will 
happily treat a string variable contain- 
ing '1 2' as both a string and a 
number. Clever eh? 



AREXX UNDER CONTROL 

CD AMIGA isn't the sort of magazine that bores advanced readers with months of tedious lexl 
for bsgmners. Storting this month, wel be tajndiinn a separate section within the A Rexx eoj- 
umn aimed pt those of you -who have maslered the basics and wnnl la know how lo put all 
this theory into practise. 

Every month wel be taking, a look at how ARexx ton |» usd to airtomcte ihe ot*ra- 
lions of several popular ARexx compatible rejections. If you'd like to make any suggestions 



GET PROGRAMMING 

Anyway, now we've got that out ot 
the way, let's get stuck into our first 

ARexx program, It you haven't 
already done so, you'll need to install 
ARexx by loading up Workbench and 
then double clicking on the RsxxMast 
program that you'll find in the System 
drawer on your Workbench disk. It 
you intend doing a lot of ARexx cod- 
ing (hen it may be worth permanently 



about which programs should receive the ARexx Irealmenl, then write in. 

Before we Jwe it at the deep end, however, if s worth takir^limetodistirKwanhhow 
AKexx ramrnuntaite wih other flpptwiions, Task commurrcalton is on mlegral part of the 
Amgo's advanced message-passing operating system bat, and ARexx builds upon this sys- 
tem to allow any application that's ARexx compatible to send and receive comrriands to and 
nam other applications that are currently ruining, 
Tb best way to envisocje Ikw hSs worlis is m 

a Jetepliofre Nne ore cofinecfcd together through a central exchange rhal's responsible for 
irrakinglteconnechonsbtf^ 

the Idephone exchange, with eorJt applitrrtiofi bc-ing its own phorie line (or, in ARexx terms, 
a 'message port'). Just like a idejihon* network, each meaage port hos ift own umque name 
rhat is used to dbtrnquish it rVam any airier meaiaae pcrfs. ASOG's Art Oeparlrrieirv 
Professional far example., has a message port died ADPto, and even AmignDOS has its rjwn 
port called Command. 

When your ARexx script attempts to communicate with on external program like ADPro, 
ARexx must hnt oflemptto establish a ummunicntions link with the aopfartion. If the 
attempt was unsuccessful, chances are lhat the program has ml been loaded. If, on the other 
hand, the attempt was sttiesstU your snitB then hee to corrmonkoto with 
1*on. From h«re ori you con toil )he iRternol 4AEXxfunc1ions b«* in to thai program to 
control its operations. 

Very few ARexx pods have the some 
name as the applitaticnis rhey are attached 
to. ¥oo should find the ARexx port name 
for the application that you'd Eke to control 
in trie program's manual, but ARexx does 
pro\ide a very handy fodfity that wil aSow 
you to autotnalkalfy dhpfcry the names of 
all ARexx message ports currernly avni 
cble. It's worth noting, however that the 
program must be running in order for 
ARexx to find its message port. Give this

H you typa In the Afi-eifjf II sling this la what 
you should see. Nol awe inspiring, but a 
working ARtXX prcgrSm nonelheless 

installing this program so that ARexx 
is automatically loaded whenever 
Workbench is loaded. Don't worry, 
this isn't as complicated as it sounds 
- simply drag the FtexxMast icon 
across from- the System drawer and 
drop it into the WBStartUp drawer 

When you double click on the 
Rex* Mast icon, a window should 
momentarily pop up onto the 
Workbench screen, informing you 
that ARexx has been successfully 
installed. It everything checked out 
okay, double click on Ihe Shell icon 
and drop down into Amiga DO 3. 
Most programming languages these 
days have their own editors which 
you use to write programs, but 
ARexx\$ somewhat different, 
Instead you'll need to write all your 
ARexx programs using a text editor. 
Thankfully, there's also one on your 
Workbench disk, so absolutely no 
need to worry here either! So without 
further ado, enter the following com- 
mand at the Shell prompt: 

Ed FtAM:Myprog.Ftexx. 
After a couple of seconds disk 
access, the Workbench Ed text edi- 
tor should spring to life before your 
very eyes. Ed works in a very similar 
manner to a conventional word pro- 
cessor (minus the flashy page layout 
tools, ot course 1 ), so you shouldn't 
have too many problems getting to 
grips with it- If in dggbf, refer lo the 

Workbench manual that came with 
your Amiga lor a more in-depth 
explanation of how Ed works, 

Anyway, let's get down to some 
senous coding - warm up those typ- 
ing fingers by entering the following 
ARexx prog ram. 



My First ARexx Program 

(line space) 

Say "Please enter your name" 

Pull NAME 

Say "Heit& there " (space;) NAME 

Exil 



Once you've typed this little pro- 
gram in - making sure that you 
haven't made any mistakes - save it 
by pressing Ihe Esc key followed by 

the X key. The Ed window should 
close and you'll be returned lo the 
Shell window. All that now remains lo 
do is to run our ARexx program by 
entering the following command at 
the Shell prompt; 



RX RAM :My Prog 
If ail wenl well, you should now be 
staring at a line ottexl prompting you 
to enter your name. Do what it says 
and then press the Return key and 
the Amiga will greet you- Clever eh! 
Okay, so it's hardly very exciting but, 
as a demonstration of how to write 
an ARexx program and then run it, 
our tittle program has served its pur- 
pose beautifully. But how does it 
actually work? Well, belore we get 
too bogged down in the technicali- 
ties, it's worth noting the /* and 7 
symbols that you'll see at the start of 
the program. As any C programmer 
will tell you, these are what are 
known as 'comment markers' and 
they mark the start and end points of 
a comment respectively. Any text 
that you enter between these two 
markers will be completely ignored 
by ARexx. so they're there purely for 
the benefit of the programmer. 
Unlike other languages, however, 
these comment markers aren't 
optional - all ARexx programs must 
.start with a comment. If you write a 
script that simply drives straight into 
code wifhoul starting with a com- 
ment, you'll get an error message, A 
rather strange limitation maybe, but 
I'm sure that all professional pro- 
grammers will agree that adding 
comments to your ARexx scripts is a 
damned good idea anyway! You 
may know what ARexx script does 
when you first write it, but your cod- 
ing may not be quite so clear when 
you return to it after a couple of 
months. By imposing this restriction 
on you, Afiexx could actually be 
making your life somewhat easier! 

The core of the program is simple 
enough too. The program uses three 
ARexx commands - Say, Pull and 
Est. Say is the ARexx equivalent of 
the Basic Print command and its 
sole role in life is to display strings of 
text on the screen. The Pull com- 
mand has a Basic equivalent too - 
Input. As its name suggests, Pull is 
used to pull in a string from the user 
via the keyboard which is then 
stored into a variable (in this case, 
the variable NAME). Finally, the Exit 
command ends the ARexx script. ^ 



NEXT MONTH 

We'll be taking a look at bow to make deci- 
sions wilhin an Aiexx «t ipl. And starling next 
month there will be o rEgulor section wilhin

Enter hacker's paradise with John 
Armitage as he explores the worldwide 
network of free Amiga software. 



E 



ven if you use your modem 
regularly, you might never 
have come across the Internet 

- one of the Comms lesser known 
successes. Practically every large 
computer system across the globe is 
part of a huge electronic network 
called the Internet, Each computer 
on the network is called a Site, and 
many offer access to the general 
public totally free of charge. 

What exactly has this to do with 
Amigas? Well, the Aminet is a col- 
lection of sites which all "mirror* each 
olher : that is, all files are duplicated 
between machines. As you might 
have guessed, the 'Ami' in Aminet 
stands tor Amiga and the files which 
are mirrored are the largest collec- 
tion of PO software in the world- 
Hundreds of megabytes of software, 
and it's all there for you free, gratis 
and for nothing. 



How do you get at this software? Via 
the FTP or file transfer protocol. 
Basically, you need to get on to a 
machine with Internet access and 
FTP software - not something most 
people have in their front room. 

Before you get all depressed, 
there are ways. First of all, if you am 
at university or college there could 
well be just such a machine waiting 
for you. For example, at my place of 
learning there is a network ot DEC 
workstations. By logging on I can get 
directly onto any FTP site, and 
download programs at about SDK a 
second, The only problem is getting 
the programs off the DEC and onto 



an Amiga - the DEC doesn't have a 

floppy disk. The solution here is to 
log on to ihe matching network of 
PCs, and copy the files across. 

There should be similar ways of 
transferring files at your local place 
of higher education. The best thing 
to do is ask the harriesi , most hack- 
erlike looking student you can find. 
Failing all that high brow stuff, sev- 
eral on-line services have an Internet 
Gateway. CIX is one which immedi- 
ately springs to mind. 

LOGGING ON 

To tog onto a site, you run the FTP 

software and type OPEN t name> at 
the prompt. When asked for a user- 
name, you enter 'anonymous' and 
lor a password enter your en- 
address: the place you are calling 
from. Now you are on a UNIX-style 
terminal, from where you can move 
around the directories. Stick with the 
Public areas (enter cd pub) and took 
lor the Aminet directory. Inside yovt 
rind hundreds of programs, so ptok 
one and enter get <fi)ename> 
Sometimes you'll need to enter "tan 
before you can download files - " 
first without. Note that as a Li " 
system, filenames are case depen- 
dent. After 'get' the files will be 
Stored on your terminal and after 
that its up to you to get them into 
Amiga format. Enter close to quit 
the system.

IGA WORKSHOP 






THEY ARE FOUCS - THE Q&A TEAM 






L ons 

11 you're in need of urgent 
help regarding your 
Amiga, then Q&A is the 
place to come. 



SOUND ADVICE 

Will the dims thai become avail- 
ja able on the CD32 be recorded 
|* with the Dolby sound encoding 
syslem as used by the dedicated 
home movie laser disc players, or 
will the soundtrack be in ordinary 
hi-fi stereo? 
Sean Christian, Douglas, Isle of Man. 

The CD32 has the same sort of ordinary stereo 
sound outputs which a normal audio CD has, 
and is therefore incapable of any extra clever 
trickery. However, all VHS tapes which have 
the HI-FI Dolby symbol on them are capable of 
surround sound when played through a special 
decoder, so there is no reason why the sound- 
track of feature films using the FMV cartridge 
could not be recorded in a similar way. 

MEMORY MADNESS 

I have an A60Q with a i Mb 
expansion card, I would like to 
add a 4Mb PCMCIA memory 
'card. Could you please tell me 
how much chip memory will this 
give me? And how much fast 
memory will it give me? 
J,R. Gel I at ly, WaJHngford, Oxfordshire. 

Any PCMCIA card will only add to the amount 
of Fasi memory you have. Chip memory needs 
to be tightly coupled to the custom chips, and 
memory added via the PCMCIA port isn't. 





In the interview with 
l* Commodore's vice president of 
Y* engineering. Lew Eggebrecht 
(CU Amiga August 1 993), Lew 
said thai the new Amiga chipset 
will have eight voices with 1 6-bil 
sound. Please can you tell me 

more about this chipset? Is it really worth buying 

an Al 200 now if the current AGA chipset is due 

for a revamp? 

Kevin McGrath, Chadderton. 

All I know about the chipset is that It will be 
many times faster than the current AGA sys- 
tem, offer true 24-bit colour with support for 
video compression and that much Improved 
sound you're lusting after. 




JOHN KENNEDY 

Tipped for host of the 
new University 

Challenge series, John 
"Bamber" Kennedy 
likes a starter for ten. 



Now you want to know if you should wait. 
Well, of course you should wait. In a year or 
so whan the new machine is available it will 
probably sell for about C50. But by then 
Commodore will have announced the 
Quadruple A chipset - it will have 32 voices, 
64-bit colour, run faster than 1000MIPS and 
coat £i 0- 

Be realistic- You can only buy what Is 
available now, Who Is to say that the new 
chipset wll'l ever appear and for how much. 
You might wait a year for nothing, and in the 
meantime you could have been using the 
A1200 - probably the best Amiga ever built. 

SCREEN 5GENE 

I'm confused about monitors and 
I desperately need your advice. I 
have an A 1200 and a Philips 
CMSB33 Mkll monitor, and all is 
working extremely well. I do a lot 
of word processing, and I am 
thinking of getting a monitor 
which will allow me to display my work in a higher 
resolution. However, I'm not sure about the differ- 
ence between hi-res and interlace. I can't afford a 
multisync, but I am interested in getting a 
Commodore 1940, 

What I really want to know is: what are the 
advantages of having a dual sync monitor, and. 
would I need to buy anything else to get the best 
results from my A1200? 
Emma Colley, Witney, Oxon. 

A hi-res screen la at least 540 pixels across, 
and a super hi-res screen Is at least 1,290 pix- 
els across. An Interlaced display Is 
technically one which flickers as It updates 
faster than the monitor can cope with. But in 
Amiga terms it often means a display of about 
512 lines. 

When the A 1200 (or A4000) la used with a 
duel-sync monitor, It can de-Interlace the dis- 
play which means you can have a 512 line 
screen with no flicker- and Its a complete 
revelation to use. 

If you are word processing a lot you need 
three things: a rock steady display, a monitor 
with a good dot pitch (how detailed the text Is} 
and a decent sized screen (at least 640x512 
pixels)- The Commodore 1340 will de-interlace 
the display, but H won't offer much In the way 
of clearer text, as Ha dot pitch Is similar to the 
CMM3& 

I would recommend you consider a 
monochrome monitor - you can buy PC-style 
monitors which will support a de-interleced 
display and offer pin-sharp text for about the 
same price as a CM8833 (try Silica Systems 
on Ofll 309 1 1 1 1 }. You can then use your 
Philips for games. 

BRING BACK BASIC 

I have recently bought my first 
Amiga - an A1 200 and I find It 
far superior to my previous B-bit 
computers. However, the prob- 
lem is that the various manuals 
do not explain how to do your

own programming. I would be very grateful if you 
could tell me the best books to start off with as I 
know very little about programming the Amiga. 
Steve Ellis, Wrexham, Clwyd. 

Unlike the 8-bit machines, the Amiga doesn't 
come with a programming language built in. 
so don't waste your time looking for a Basic 
interpreter lurking around- The nearest you'll 
find is ARexx, which is described in our tuto- 
rial series. 

As for books, well, I could tell you to go 
out and buy the complete set of official refer- 
ence manuals - but I won't. 

What you need is a copy of Amos or Blitz 
Basfc, which both come with good tutorial 
works. Perhaps this month's coverdlsk will 
appeal to you as well... 

FREE FLOPPY DRIVE 

I have an Amiga 500 and I am 
thinking about flatting a CD3-2. H » 
• bought the CD32 expansion 
"device with a parallel port, serial 
port and so on, would I be able H 
connect my AS00 to the CD32 
and use it with the ASOQ's key- 
board and disk drive' 

Also, is there going to be a CD32 version of 
Mortal Kombat with 256 colours and use of the 
multi-button controller? 
Chris Stevenson, Burnley, Lanes. 

Although I have yet to see the CD32 expan- 
sion box, I think that I am correct In thinking 
thai you won't be able to use your A500 as a 
keyboard and drive for the CD32. 

What you will be able to do is use the CD32 
as a CD-ROM drive for the A500, and access 
the many disks of PD and demo software wtt* 
a program such as Pamet. 

Of course, If demand la high enough some- 
one will write the software to do what you 
require, And, similarly, if the CD32 sells well 
enough you can bet that Mortal KombatwW 
appear In all Its gory (258-colour) glory. 

TV HELL 

^mt^e ! ' m 1f Y in fl ,0 connect my A600 IB 
l^^^^^P a television set. According to 

ML L\l Commodore it is possible to ccr 

msfSSSs 5° nect the A600 t0 the TV via |he 
Wii Qv SCART socket, but I have tned 

™IW^ this with little success. 

At the moment I have to be 

satisfied with colour composite signal. 

Gerard Kelly, Munich, Germany. 

It sounds like a problem with that good old 
aimost-but-not-qufte-a-5tandard SCART (or 
Peritel) connector. 

Although the SCART connector can sup- 
port separate red, green and blue lines, they 
are not always implemented. 

If your television sports a true SCART 
paflble connector, the RGB signals from the 
A6D0 should drive it perfectly, and as you 
know give a much better display than with 
blurry colour composite.

ASK THE IXP 




Unfortunately, you can't get a picture, so 
therefore your TV lis crap. Sorry. 

LIBRARY EXPLOSION 

I own, an A60Q, and I'm having 
difficulties with the virus checker 
program given away on the CU 
J * Amiga coverdlsk. 1 have dragged 
f * the icon into my Workbench 
Startup drawer, but when I reboot 
I get the message, Need explode 
library vi4+'. Can you help? 
Tracey Foulsham, Birmingham. 

This letter sums up the dozens of elm liar 
queries regarding the dreaded exploding 
library, and the reply will hopefully help every- 
one to sort out Ihelr problem. When the Amiga 
boots, it likes everything to be in Its place. It 
likes the Amiga DOS commands to live In the 
C directory, and the fonts to be in the FONTS 
directory. It also likes libraries to be in the 
LIBS directory. A library Is a special piece of 
code which offers some common features to 
programs. In this case, the virus checker pro- 
gram needs some compression end 
decompression routines and these live, quite 
happily, in the explode library. 

When you boot from the coverdlsk, LIBS: is 
set to point to the LIBS drawer on the 
coverdlsk, which contains the explode library 
When you boot from your Workbench, how- 
ever, LIBS: is set to point to the LIBS drawer 
on the Workbench -which probably doesn't 
contain the explode library. 

So when you copy the Virus checker pro- 
gram, you also need to copy the library. Some 
programs come with a utility called something 
like install library' which will automatically 
copy across any required libraries. 

However, being the kind-hearted soul thai I 
am, here's a step-by«step guide on how to do 
It manually (oooer). 

i. Bool from your Workbench In the normal 
way. 

2. Open a SHELL window. 

3. Put the coverdlsk in the drive. 

4. Enter COPY dfO:llbs'ex pi ode. library to 
RAM: This will make a copy of the explode 
library in the RAM disk. 

5. Put your Workbench disk back Into the 

drive. 

6. Enter COPY RAM:explode.library to LIBS: 
This will insert the library Into the correct 
drawer, 

COBOL CONUNDRUM 

lm learning the COBOL pro- 
gramming language for my 
\# college course and i need a 
I * COBOL compiler for the Amiga. 
* I've searched the PD libraries but 
with no luck. Can you please help 
me? I would be very grateful 
James Deadman, Welling, Kent, 

First of all, commiserations on your unfortu- 
nate situation. I had to use COBOL as part of 
my so-called education, and what a waate of 
my life it was. 

1 recommend you change colleges to one 
which won't waste your time with this crappy 
language, but teaches something useful (such 
as C) Instead. 

In my case, this meant a change from the 
science to engineering faculties- In case you 
can't menage this, you'll need to get a PC 
emulator (software should suffice) and a PC 
COBOL compiler. 





DTP ABC 

For some time now I have been 
looking for a DTP package which 
includes powerful features whilst 
\ * also being easy to use. Presently 
1 I do not own any DTP programs, 
but I want to produce high-quality 
work. 
Andrew Chang, Wimbledon, London. 
You missed out several Important facts, 
Andrew. How much do you want to spend? 
Do you have a printer, or will you be using e 
bureau? 

If, as I suspect, you want to dabble your 
toes In the murky waters of desktop publish- 
ing before plunging in headlong, I suggest 
you get hold ol The Publisher, which was 
reviewed in the December 19&3 Issue. 

The Publisher coats about £30, and at this 
value-tor- money price its only competition is 
the equally adequate PflffeSeftertrom Gold 
Disk. Check out the adverts in this Issue of 
CU Amiga for prices, as they tend to change 
rather quickly. 

BIG NUMBERS 



.+11* 





Ever since I've had my Amiga 
I've been interested in graphics 

based around mathematics. You 
may not believe this, but there is 
actually a limit to the amount of 
pictures that you can display on 
the screen. 
I have devised a formula to actually calculate 
the number of screens possible in a screen mode 
such as low resolution, 32 colours: colours to the 
power of the number ol pixels. 

It's not a very complex formula I must admit, 
out it works. For example, it you took a screen 
Ol 320x256 pixels Stored in 4096 colours (HAM 
mode) the number of different screens you 
could produce would be.., far too large to print 
here, but I can say thai the number consists of 
exactly 295,955 digits. 

When you consider that one page ol CU 
Amiga contains approximately 6,400 characters, 
it would take 4B2 pages of CU to write this num- 
ber down (about two full issues) - 

However, this number does cover every single 
picture seen in any art package or game, ranging 
from a screens hot of Populous 2 to a Vista Pro 3 
image, to a purple dot in the corner of the screen 
in Deluxe Paint, 
Thanks for your time. 
Daniel White, Walsall. 

Thank you Daniel tor trusting us with your for- 
mula, I trust you have written a program 
which will randomly 111 k the screen with dots, 
because eventually you'll get a picture of your 
own lace. Or the Mons Lisa, Or an image ol 
the Earth as seen from the Moon. Or a full- 
colour image from Ihe inside ol my stomach 
(How delightful). 

In fact, given a last enough computer we 
could use your theory to generate the screen 
shots for the January 1995 Issue, which would 
save ue the trouble ol taking them at the time, 

FUCKER VISION 

r _Aj, m I have recently bought an SOMb 
hard drive for my 2Mb A600 
which I have installed myself. 
After the computer has been 
switched on the screen flickers 
quite badly for the first half hour 
or so, almost as though it was 

warming up. Is this the case, and is il harmful to 

my Amiga? 

Also, the drive came in two partitions: a 75Mb 



partition and a bootable 5Mb partition for 
Workbench. Is there any way I can enlarge 1h# 
Workbench partition? 

Finally, a friend told me that Ihere is a 2Mb 
upgrade available tor the trapdoor. Is this true' 
I've never seen them advertised anywhere, so I 
thought I'd check with you. Would a PCMCIA 
card work with programs such as OctaMEO - 
CineMorph? is there any way that I could " 
accelerate the A60Q, as morphing lakes ages. 
Dave Park, Letchworth, Herts. 

your screen flickering problem could be 
power related. Perhaps the standard PSU 
hasn't enough juice and Is struggling. 

Falling that, either the hard drive or (tie 
Amiga is broken - It's certainly not normal 
behaviour. Early Amiga modulators have been 
known to flicker between colour and 
monochrome, but recent ones should proba- 
bly be okay. The HDTools program has an 
option screen dedicated to making and alter- 
ing partitions. You should have no problems 
resizing your drive (1011b (or Workbench is 
mora useful) and If you make sure the tick Is 
In the bootable requester you II be all right. 

Before you start, remember to back up all 
your data, as re-pa rtltion In g a drive will 
destroy Its contents. I haven't heard of any 
memory expansion lor the A6O0 other than the 
1Mb card that fits into the trapdoor, which 
gives the A600 a total of 2Mb of Chip RAM. 
Memory added to the PCMCIA card slot is not 
Chip HAM, but It will still be used by the sys- 
tem. For example, the OctaMed program will 
automatically load Into the PCMCIA memory, 
leaving more of your Chip RAM for samples. 

Currently, the only way to accelerate an 
AGQO is to throw it out of a window. 
Remember If you upgraded it to a A1200, you 
could take the hard drive with you, 

KEYMAPS 

Dear Co Amiga, I can't set the 
Key map of my Amiga to GB and 
1 gel a $ when I type a. 
Lots of people, Everywhere. 

Ok, I thought this was simple 
until 1 had to do it myself again recently on a 
Workbench 3 system. Assuming you have 
your entire Workbench available on a hard 
disk, you must set the following; 

Prefs 'locale/Country to United Kingdom 

Prefs locale Preferred Language 10 English 
and select SAVE. 

Then set the following: 

Prefa/lnput'Key board type to British and 
select SAVE. 

Next time you open a Shell, the keymap 
should be set properly. 

Now, if you are using a floppy only system 
you will need to make sura that your boot dis* 
contains the tile 'gb' in the DEVS:keymaps 
directory. If it's not there, you'll need to copy 
it across from the storage directory- 

NETWORKING 

m I'm hoping to upgrade my Amiga

AMIGA WORKS HO 



ASK THE EXP I ITS 




» internal drive from the A5€0 as an external drlva 
on the At 200, either by linking the machines or 
taking the drive out and rewiring it? 

II possible I'd like to keep my A5QQ in one 
part, so can I use the drive from any other 
machines? In fad, are there any parts from old 
Amigas that can be used with the At 200? 
Ben Hollis, Norwich, Norfolk. 

Using the PO program Parnet (see next 
month's DIY section lor full details) you can 
connect the A5O0 and A1200 together, end the 
A 1200 can access the AsOO's floppy drive. 
And vice versa. Unfortunately, It isn't possible 
to use an internal drive as an external Amiga 
drive as some extra electronics are required. 

The same goes for any naked drive mecha- 
nism you might see, so stick to Amiga 
specific drives. 

As for cannibalising the A500 for parts - 
again, I'm afraid not. The mouse is probably 
the only pari of the system that could be used 
as the A1200 motherboard and chips are sev- 
eral years more advanced than the trusty old 
AS00, and nothing would be any use. 

WHEN I GROW UP... 

I'm 14, and I wish to write games 
software for a living on the Amiga 
# when I'm older, so I thought I'd 
I » start learning now. 
^ I already know how to use 
AMOS, so I want to get DevPac 
and learn &80x0 assembly lan- 
guage - or j dW until I saw a line in CU AMIGA 
that said the 'C language was more powerful 
than machine code, Could you tell me what lan- 
guage the games companies use, and what 
books and software i might need? 
Lenny, Worksop. 

Which: language is more powerful is open to 
debate. For pure speed, you can't beat raw 
assembly language because that's what every 
other language Is eventually translated into. 

On the other hend, C offers a lot of support 
for data structures and function calling - Ideal 
for larger programs and making use of the 
operating system. Interestingly, a good C 
compiler will produce code almost as good as 
hand-written assembler. 

Most games companies use assembler, but 
mora are turning towards C because, as 
games became more and more complicated, it 
makes sense to write all the game logic in C 
and keep the assembler for the ultra-speed- 
crltlcal graphics code. 

My advice to you would be to learn C first 
because the principles involved are more 
Important than knowing the Motorola instruc- 
tion set Inside out. Anyone who can program 
can learn how to code In assembler in a day - 
It takes a lot longer to learn how to program In 
the first place, and longer still to learn how to 
program the Amiga. 

WELL HARD VIRUS 

I'm considering buying an Amiga 
1200, and have some questions: 
1 . How do I know if there is a 
virus on a hard disk and how do I 
get rid of it? Does it mean that 
everything has to bo reloaded, 
including all Of Workbench? 

2. How do I know if programs on floppy disk will 
install onto a hard drive? 

3, I have loads of Spectrum games on tape, and I 
notice that there is a Spectrum emulator in the 
public domain, 

How do I connect the cassette recorder to the 




Amiga? What do you think the chances are of 

getting the games working? 

4. By the way, who is Fred Fish? Am I the only 

one not in on this? 

Robert Pickering. Denbigh, Clwyd. 

I hope you decide to go ahead and get a 
A 1200. Here ere same answers: 

1. A public domain program such as 
VlrusChecker will look through the files on the 
disk, and If It finds a virus It will delete the 
suspect file. You don't have to install every- 
thing again, 

2. The box the game comes In will usually 
have a sticker on it, but the best way Is to 
check the reviews in CU Amiga as we'll 
always say If a game can be installed or not. 

3. The Spectrum emulator can load games 
from cassette tape by means of any normal 
tape recorder connected to an Amiga sound 
dlgltlser (sampler). 

As long as the game doesn't make use of 
any strange copy protection methods, nearly 
all Spectrum software works fine: I've been 
playing the classic game Thrust with the emu- 
lator on my A4000 quite a bit. Well, until I 
bought Frontier. 

4. No, you are not alone in your ignorance 
about Fred Fish. At the recent 'meeting of 
minds', practically all of the Amiga developers 
present had no Idea about the Identify of Fred 
Fish To me this says a lot about the develop- 
ers - they treat the Amiga simply as a games 
console and have no interest In the Amiga 
community at large. There's no great mystery 
about Mr Fish - Fred is the guy who collects 
all the Amiga PD to release as his 'Fish Disk'. 
He has so much software now that he's 
releasing it only on CD- ROM. so buy the last 
CDTV in the shop now, 

PICTURE SWOPPING 

t ici I often swop pictures on disk 
between my dad's PC and my 
Amiga by using CrossDos to load 
the PC-format disks on the Amiga 
Workbench. My dad also has an 
Apple Mac in work. 3s there any 
way I can get the Amiga to load 
these son of disks? There is a colour scanner con- 
nected to the Appte and it woukf be great to load the 
pictures into Deluxe Faint 
Colin Turner, London. 

The trick is not to get the Amiga to think like a 
Mac, but to get the Mac to think like a PC. 
Confused? don't worry - the Apple Mac uses 
a very strange way of storing data on floppy 
disks, but with the Mac program Apple File 
Exchange which all Macs come with, it can 
read and write to ordinary PC format disks. 

As you know, the Amiga can read PC disks 
through CrossDOS (included with all WB3 
machines) so the only remaining problem Is 
the file format. 

A common Mac file format is TIFF, which is 
totally Incompatible with the Amiga's own IFF. 
However, there are some programs In the pub- 
He domain which will convert files for you. 
Some Mac programs also support JPEG 
which Is a greet way of squeezing large 24-bit 
colour fives onto a single floppy. 

THE NEED FOR SPEED 

I have a number of questions 
, weighing heavily on my mind. 
** Please can you help ease my 

worries and calm my fevered 

brow by answering the following 

technical queries: 





1 . Why do you need a memory expansion to 
increase the speed on an A 1200? 

2. Would it be better to fit a Power Computoej 
PCI 200-4 or a MicrOboliCS MBX1200Z wsJtfJa) 
same amount of memory? 

3. Do I really need an FPU it all i want to do * 
play games? 

4. Does the running speed of the CD32 maacft 
that of an A1200 fitted with extra memory 1 ' 

5. Is the access time from a CD-ROM faster law 
from hard drive? 

6. Assuming the answer to question 4 is yes. I 
bought a CD-ROM drive for my A1 200 wouM 1 no 
longer need the memory expansions-? 

7. Is it possible to use normal joyslicks with the 
CD32? 

B. A, Doherty, Winsford, Cheshire. 

Well, after that heart warming plea, here are 
some equally weighty answers which I hope 
will solve some of your worries: 

1. The A1200 comes with 2Mb of chip memory 
as standard. Chip memory is shared between 
the CPU (the Motorola 68020) and the custom 
chips which produce graphics and sound. 
Because of this shared arrangement, the CPU 
takes slightly longer than normal to access 
the memory, and this slows the computer 
down slightly. 

When extra memory Is added via the trap- 
door, the CPU has immediate access and can 
therefore run at full speed - this explains why 
It is called Fast memory. 

2. Depends on which one you like beat 
Seriously though, we're doing a complete 
round up of all At 200 peripherals soon which 
should answer your question. 

3. No, If you only play games the extra 
expense of an FPU is wasted. 

It does make sense to buy a memory board 
which could theoretically support an FPU in 
case you change your mind, and get hooked 
on graphics or sound software, 

4. No, as the CD32 has only (hah! only!) 2Mb 
of Chip RAM, it runs at the same speed as an 
unexpended A1200. 

However, the CD32 has an extra chip 
(Akiko) which can speed up some graphics 
operations ever so slightly. 

5. Ho, a hard drive is much faster. A double 
speed CD-ROM (like the one fitted to the 
CD32) will shift data at about 300 K a second: 
a lot slower than a good hard drive. 

With good programming, CD access can 
appear a lot faster - certainly fast enough to 
spool graphics and sound data directly from 
disk. 

6. The question is: If you bought a CD-ROM 
drive for the A1200, where would you stick 
your memory expansion. 

This is a question which can only be 
resolved when Commodore release details on 
the CD-ROM drive. 

7. Yes, although the supplied Joy pads are bet- 
ter because they support more buttons. 

Phew, now, with all that lot finished, I'm 
mentally and physically exhausted. I'm going 
back to Commander Kennedy in Elite H who 
is somewhere deep in the Groombridge ays* 
lam. Till next month playmates.

Ithough OctaMED is 
an amazingly power- 
ful program, if you 
can't gat over the first few hurdles you might never 
realise just what's possible with this little gem. In 
the first of an on -going series, this month we'll be 
concentrating on the basics - enough to get you 
up and running, without getting too deep in oonf us- 
ing details. Evan if you don't understand 
everything, ihis simple step-by-step guide should 
have you waking up the neighbours in no time 
The series will be geared towards the new features 
of OctaMED V5, but wherever possible there'll be 
notes on the equivalent features of previous 
OctaMED versions. 

THE LOW DOWN 

Then) are a tew theories and facts which should 
be explained before we start, and which should 
help ycu make a bil more sense of what's to come. 

1 . Like other trackers, OctaMED outputs two sam- 
ples to the left channel and two to the right when 
it's in normal four-channel mode. The two outside 
tracks (lar left and far right on the screen) go to 
one side, while the middle two go out through the 
other. Usually mono samples are used. Stereo 
samples are actually two samples (a left and a 
right version of the sound), and so would take up 
two tracks each. 

2. Songs are constructed by recording different 
blocks, then arranging the blocks to play in a spe- 
cific order. The order in which you create the 
blocks has no bearing on the order in which they 
are played in the song. That's entirely up to you. 

3. Although only four samples can be played at 
any one time in four-channel mode, you can use 
up to 63 samples in any one song (memory permit- 
ting), Any sample can be placed on any irack you 
like. You could even play the same sample on all 
four tracks at once it you needed to. 

Okay, now to make some noise.,. 

SAMPLING A SOUND 

Yo-u could load a sample Irom disk, but that's for 
wimps, Here's how to sample your own sound. 
You should have an audio source connected to 



your sampler cartridge. Click in the sample name 
box. This is found in the middle at the top of the 
screen on V5, and is accessed via Ihe INSTR but- 
ton on previous versions. Choose a name for your 
sample and lype it into the box.. Ignore the 'Error: 
object not found' comment.

Monitoring th* volurn* Of Ins Incoming sound I. an Important 
factor In galling a good quality reproduction. 

Click on EDJT SAMPLE (SMPED on earlier ver- 
sions), then dick in the box marked PITCH, and 
replace the number 428 with 214 (remembering to 
press RETURN to register the change). This sets 
the sample rate. Instead of kilohertz, OctaMED 
uses a measurement called period. The higher the 
number, the lower the sample rate. Use a lower 
number for higher-quality samples.. A period of 214 
is the same rate used to play back the note C. 
Click in Ihe BUFFER SIZE box, and type in 90000.

This will open up a blank space lor you to sample 
into that's &0k long (60 thousand bytes). 

Click on the MONITOR button, Play your 
record, CD or tape, or make a noise into the micro- 
phone if you have one connected. You should see 
the line in the monitor box start to jump up and 
down. If there's little or no reaction in the monitor 
window, check your cables and ihen adjust the vol- 
ume level on your input, Tweak ihe volume until 
the sound wave just touches the top and bottom of 
the box, without flattening out 

Once you've got the volume level right, close 
the monitor window (or click the right mouse button 
with older versions of the program). This takes you 
out of monitor mode. Now cue up your sound 
source to a point just before the bit you want to 
sample. Click on DIGITIZE (or click RECORD 
twice with older versions), and start your sound 
source playing. It will then be recorded into the 
blank sample space. 

TRIMMING YOUR SAMPLE 

You'll now have some Spare noise at the start and 
end of your sample. This needs to be cut off before

sounds as you have room for in memory, and go 
on to lay down tracks three and four.

FRONTIER FAULTED? 

I 1 an writing to a computer magazine for the first 
time with this tetter, and it is to complain in the 
strongest possible terms about the rating and 
review that was given in your mag to Frontier. I 
have read CU AMIGA for some years and, on the 
whole, the games I have purchased on your rec- 
ommendation have been as described. However, 
I have played Frontier now for about eight hours 
and I am disappointed in the extrema. 

1 , The autopilot which is supposed to land you 
On a planet without the need for human interven- 
tion does not. Once locked onto the target 
starport it crashes the ship regularly when 
approaching the planet to land. Indeed it has 
never successfully landed in 16 attempts! 

2, Combat is a joke! Even after getting a lock 
on to an enemy ship the speed of hundreds of 
thousands of kilometres per hour is maintained 
and most ships are in and away before the 
autopilot has a chance to react- 
In the original Elite it was simple to slow to 

zero speed, orient the ship and then accelerate 
and engage in dogfighting. Frequently in Frontier 
the enemy ships circle you continuously as you 
hurtle at thousands of kilometres, per hour In a 
straight line with the autopilot struggling to keep 
them in your sights! 

At that speed it takes half a solar system to 
slow down to allow what might be effective man- 
ual combat, but I have never had the hours lo 
spare just slowing down to find out! 

The above faults make the game impossible to 
play. How can any game pass the play testers, 
never mind be given such a high rating and such 
a glowing review? Do you have a reply? 
Stuart Murdock, Ayrshire, 

Your problem a with Fron tier are common,, yet 
very easy to solve. The main problem a lot Of 
people had la the ship crashing into planets.' 
syndrome. One thing you need to remember Is 
thai the autopilot and the docking computer 
ere separate entities - the autopilot simply 
gets you to a targeted space co-ordinate, and 
the'n the docking computer lakes over. The 
autopilot lakes no notice of what Is actually in 
front of it, only concentrating on actually get- 
ting you there. So, if the spaceport is on the 
wrong side of the planet, It will try to fly 
through the planet to get to it! The only way to 
remedy this is to either make sure you pick a 
location that you can reach, or switch off the 
autopilot when you are near the planet and fly 
around It manually. In terms of combat, the

WHY NOT? 

So the CD32 arrives and I'd like to express my 
disbelief in most computer games manufacturers' 
attitudes- They complain bitterly about piracy and 
then along comes a new virtually pirate-proof for- 
mat and they sit on their laurels and wait to see il 
it sells. If they cared about their future, they 
should convert all their good games to the CD for- 
mal NOW 

The games don't need massive upgrading to 
make use of the CD32's custom chips. I heard a 
rumour that a good game is based on good 
gameplayl 

What the CD32 needs is games to make it 
set!. Sure it will cost them in the short term, but in 
the long term we'll all be better off. Maybe then 
they won 1 ! biame their poor sales on pirates and 
will be forced to make sure the games are worthy 
of release. 

And we, in turn, will be treated to a fab new

generation of games and conversions of great 
stuff like Day Of The Tentacle will appear. 
Paul Duncan, London. 

It's a sad but true fact that, although It would 
be quite easy to just dump standard Amiga 
games on to CD, most companies are still 
waiting tor large enough sales figures before 
taking the plunge. 

The question is, would the people who 
have been good enough to shell out for this 
wunderkind of a machine really settle for what 
can only be described as shovelware? How 
many people now are particularly happy at the 
amount of games that don't take advantage Of 
the AG A chipset? What do you think? 

THE CD DEBATE RAGES ON.., 

In your November issue, Simon Marky raised the 
interesting point of coverdisk floppies vs CDs. 
You said that you would stick with the former for 
al least another year. I suggest, however, that 
you start mounting CDs on the front of the maga- 
zine as soon as possible, The reason is that I 
would:: love to buy any kind of CD-ROM drive if it 
were not for the software. Being a poor student 
(aren't we all?) I need all my savings for hardware 
and the only software I can afford is either PD or 
coverdisk material. 

It really is a chicken -and -egg problem. If you 
or other mags do not have cover CDs, there is 
hardly an incentive for me to buy a CD-ROM 
drive. But if I and many others do not own such a 
drive there is no incentive for you to bring out 
CDs, The solution to this lies in the tact that mosl 
people do own audio CD players. So in the first 
months you COM Id bring out CDs that only' con- 
tain, say, 100Mb of software and the rest sound. 

For instance. I would not mind hearing inter- 
views with Amiga celebrities like Jay Miner, Fred 
Fish or Francois Lionet. Or you could put in 
demos of albums by artists using the Amiga, like 
Snap or Coldcut. You could even get one of them 
to do an Audio Workshop on 'How lo Make a Top 
Ten Hit Using Only MED and a Pile of James 
8rown Samples' I 
Branko Collin, Nijmegan, The Netherlands. 

Branko, we argue the toss amongst ourselves 
every day concerning a cover-mounted CD. 
We do intend to give away CDs at some point 
in the future, so watch this space. 

HELP! 

I hope you can help me, I have been reading your 
outstanding magazine now for tour years, which 
is how long I've had my Amiga, and i have nearly 
every coverdisk from CU AMIGA. But last year 
my computer caught the Revenge I virus, which 
destroyed over half of my disk collection. 

After having terminated the virus, i am still in 
the process of refilling my disk boxes But one 
disk, namely CU AMIGA coverdisk 23, has been »

VERY WORRIED 

I am very worried that one of my favourite Amiga magazines 
carrot be trusted any more when il comes lo games review. I 
om very worried that CU AMIGA, in the ever more competitive 
magazine rush for games exoWes and first reviews, is stort- 
ing to believe the hype and not redly play- testing the actual 
gomes at all. This might be the drwritanle interpretation. The 
more cynkal view could be (hat CU AMIGA is beirw farted fifo 
giving good reviews/raise information to secure the exclusive 
review/advertisino/demo from the software house. 

There has been a very worrying trend m the bsl six 
months for some ofywjr major games reviews and previews 
to read alnias! ns though ihcy how been wrrtten by ihe soft- 
ware bouses' respective marketing departments. Rather than 
independently analysing games for your readership, you seem 
to have entered into a Faustion pact with the software compa- 
nies which requires YOU to make all sorts of over-inflated (and 
sometimes downrioini misleading] claims for their hot games. 
The damage is (hen compounded by software houses using 
your reviews in their caWfetig as evidence of bow wodenul 
the game is, Subsequently, people who have bought these 
games in good faith tos of your reviews have lost a great deal 
of respect and you ore becoming a bit of a laughing stack. 
' Infamy/ you say, where's your evidence?' mi, 
UYour frontier review in the November 1993 issue. fiwWSer 
is good, but it is not that good. Your mark of 97 per cent 
makes it almost a perfect game, but me program has a couple 
of gomeplay faults {not lo say some spectocubr buds} wftiai 
become evident to the player wfthtn a couple cd days. If you 
had reviewed the gome property these would surety have 
marked the gome down and deflated your 'mast important 
step forworcffor gomes this decode' claim. For instance:

bot b virtually irniwsaWe. [Oogffhting neti spaceports is ofeo 
lead. Homing will attack you near a port unless you have 
final first. Kcti^hty, naughiy...] 

• When you enter a new system, prates seemtolsepieroled 
randomly, so when your snip is poorly armed, it's best justto 
save the gone at every space station. 

• Most ships seem to be piloted by mad kamikaze pilots 
wtwse oary combat tactk seems to be ramming you. 

• Ihe hyperspace logic of the game is Rawed When you go on 
assassination missions, the huge cruisers hyperspace at speeds 
thai ore not obtainable from the ship stats, forcing you to buy 
a tiny ship to keep up with them. 

• Crewing is a right pofn. You have to hope there are enough 
job wanted ads at the space station and then you find ihe 
crewing figures for ships are completely differ ent from those 
printed m the manual, 

• In some ground-based stations with retractable roofs, you 
can't rjel outwitfiout blowirig up— the oame seems to think

BIGGER AMD BETTER 

I am writing to ask how much bigger my computer 
magazines are going to get, I own ar> Amiga 
A 1200, alongside a Super Nintendo and a SEGA 
Mega Drive, and I have noticed the increasing 
tendency to stick large pieces of card behind the 
issue to make pecpJe think they are getting even 
better value for money. 

How much further is il going to go belore you 
have to start charging a higher price lor the mag- 
azine? I would happily forgoe the backing card 
and booklets to keep the mag at the same price. 
Not so long ago, a console magazine came 
mounted 1 on a piece of card twice the size of the 
issue, a booklet and a free can of lemonade, 
Naturally the coverprice went up, and although it 
seemed like a good value package at the time, ■ 
once you had thrown the card away and drank 
the lemonade, all you were left with was the mag- 
azine itself, 

CU AMIGA is the best on the shelf because of 
it's high quality editorial - NOT what you can find 
plastered ail overlhe magazine. 

Yes, the coverdisks do influence the sales, 
and I have bought your rival magazines on the 
strength of their disks, but the fact that your edito- 
rial is better than theirs is the reason I keep 
coming back, Don't gel gimmicky, CU, You don't 
need it.

DEEPLY SHOCKED 

I recently had the misfortune to glance at a copy of 
CU AMIGA, as my son is an avid reader. And. to 
be frank, I am very worried about the blatant use of 
sexism that prevails throughout the magazine. 
First of all, the cover image is a startled fifties-style 
babe staring in amazement/horror at the coverlines 
of the magazine. What has this woman got to do 
with the contents of the magazine I asked myseff? 
Well, absolutely nothing. This women is a. sad mar- 
keting! ploy which holds to the school of thought 
that if you stick a women on the front cover of any 
magazine, all the horny boys and men will flack in 
their droves to buy this magazine, regardless of 
the contents. 

This attitude seems to be the main driving force 
behind computing magazines and indeed com- 
puter games. Cover Girl Strip Pok9r is one fine 
example of pornography parading as a computer 
game. However, back to your magazine. After 
passing over the babe on the front cover, I was 
confrpnied with 'Vampyra', Brother babe, only this 
time dressed in a plunging neckline and spouting 
sexual innuendos in reply to gamers' queries about 
games, Does she know anything about games in 
real life? Does she heck I Again, she is another sad 
marketing ploy trying to entice men to read the 
pages using a bit of cleavage and dirty talk, 

A worrying repercussion of all these blatant 
uses of sexual imagery is reflected in your readers' 
entries to your art gallery, Rogne Ness from 
Norway sent in his paper to Amiga conversion in 
the form of Ramela - a gravity-defying bosomed 
women clothed only in two minuscule slrips of 
doth over her nipples and strip of cloth wrapped 
around either thigh. 

However, it is not just the readers who use this 
form of sexual imagery when they are exploring 
the capabilities of the Amiga. It is also the contribu- 
tors. Smattered throughout the tutorials On the 
Amiga are images of semi-naked, big-busted 
women, These illustrations are used to demon- 
strate how your Amiga can help you to paint, draw, 
build your own robot, make videos, and so on. No 
matter the topic, a piclure of a woman will appear 
somewhere on the pages. Why don't you jusf.be 
done with ft and and publish the magazine on 
wipe-clean paper too? 

A frightening note is that new games are com- 
ing into development which will allow you to have 
sew with characters in the game {Chris Crawford 
article). I want my son to grow up seeing women 
■ as human beings, nol as big breasted, scantily - 
dad women who, if you push a few buttons, will 
strip off and have sex with you.

FINE TUNING 

Whilst experimenting with the sampler project I

found that if f after the capacitor C2 s value from 
470nF to 47pF, I obtain better results. Why is this? 
N Thompson, Balh. 

As clearly stated in the article at the lime, the 
value for C2 was found by experimentation. 
With my circuit the 470nF capacitor works fine. 
Due lo different tolerances in chip design and 
the way your circuit la built, you may find - as 
suggested In the article - that smaller values 
work better. You may want to try 47nF as well 
before finishing with the soldering iron. By the 
way, the 4mF capacitor quoted for C1 is in real 
life a 4m F7 capacitor, as anyone with any 
knowledge of electronics will tell you,

AMI 



POINTS OP VIEW 




Bored? Listless? Played ail the new games that you got for Christmas 
already? Well, listen up as John Kennedy examines the case of the Amiga 
versus the consoles. 



So you got an Amiga for Christmas, and now 
you're wondering why. Why do 'loppy disks 
take so long to load? Why do you haws to 
swap them so often? The manuals look ten 
complicated, and what exactly is the point of the 
Workbench system? Perhaps you should have got 
a console like the man in the shop said - at least a 
console dcesni have a keyboard to make you feel 
guilty every time you look at it. Hang on, wait a 
minute. An Amiga isn't a games- machine. It's a 
computer that happens to play games. Here's a list 
of reasons why your Amiga is more useful than 
any console currently available: 



GRAPHICS 

The Amiga, especially the new A12&0 mac- 
has excellent graphics. It can display pictures on 
the TV that you would swear are real pictures. It 
might seem obvious, but it's taken over 10 years 
for home computers to do that. 

With ihese realistic graphics available, all sorts 
of things become possible. With paint and anir- 
tion packages such a Deluxe Paint, not ornfy can 
youcreate works of art, but also miniatu/fc 
films and cartoons. If you expand your compv 
with a 24 pit colour card, you can display highly 
detailed pictures in over 16 mi'lion colours, ani- 
mate the results and store them on videotape. The 
Channel 4 TV program Babylor. 5 uses ihe Amiga 
lo create the space-based special effects. 

A small peripheral will allow the mixing of A 
Amiga graphics with live TV, so add ng subtitles 
and iniroduction screens to home videq^fl 
remarkably easy. 

SOUND 

inside the Amiga is a chip whose so!e purpose is 
to replay sound sampies - real sounds, stored in 
computer memory. With a free program called 
ME I id say free) you can arrange sound 

-■■ to make four-channel stereo music. 
With a little extra hardware, you can connect 
the Amiga to a home music keyboard and record, 
edit and play back your own compositions. You 
can even buy an expansion card which will record 





save of sound ready for mixing and 

recording onto CD. 

With a £30 add-on, you can sample your own 
sounds and add them to your collection, so your 
own voice or musical instrument can be included in 
your work. 



WORKBENCH 

The Workbench is one of the most power' 
puler operating systems available today - on any 
computer, It's truly which means, pro- 

vided you have the memory, you can run many 
programs sfmuttaneously. Programs can communi- 
;h each other by means of the ARexx 

cation language, so an art 
program can link directly into an image processing 
:m or a video image gra! 



Workbench provides easy ways ot copying and 
duplicating disks, examining files, looking at pic- 
tures and launching programs, and it can be fully 
customised, 



GAMES 

e Amiga has dedicated chips to support games 
software 1 he large amount of standard memory 
and excellent sound and graphics means that 

mes written especially to take advantage of the 
ardware are probably the best currently avail;* 
What's more, Amiga games are considerably 
cheaper than console games, and usually offer a 
great deaf more scope. 

PUBLIC DOMAIN 

Amiga .sers ars a fanatical bunch (in case you 

'1 nnticed) and that leads to the creation of an 
entira culture based around the machine. Anyone 
can be a member of the club - all they need to do 
is buy an Amiga computer. 

Altruism is also prevalent in the Amiga world, 
which means that there is a huge collection of pub- 
lic domain software available. If a program is 
public domain, the author requires no payment for 
it, jusl a little fame. Some of the best Amiga soft 
ware can be obtained freely over electronic mail 
networks or for a small copying charge from 
hundreds of PD libra Bk_ 

I could go on all day about the Am»ga. I'd men- 
lion ihe easy expansion, the ability to add hard 
■drives and CD-ROMs, the way modems can con- 
nect you to the entire world, how a video digitisar 
can put real pictures of yourself inside your TV 
screen. 

I you want to stop the invasion of mindless 
computer o - up to you, You've got to be 

more creative and get off your backsides and use 
your computer. It may take more effort than slap- 
ping in the latest £50 cartridge, but the so-called 

.ays' aspects ot computing can make you more 
than any blaster, 
fhat are you going to do? Why, keep read- 
ing CU Amiga, of course. We'll show you how to 
use your new computer
